A 1.7-kb fragment containing the nodD1 genes of Bradyrhizobium sp. (Cassia) CN9135 was amplified by PCR with primers based on B. japonicum USDA110. This fragment was cloned and sequenced. Analysis of the sequence showed open reading frames highly homologous to nodD1 from other bradyrhizobial sources. The sequence showed higher homology to nodD1 gene of B. elkanii than to those from b. japonicum. Our results suggest that Bradyrhizobium sp. (Cassia) CN9135 may be more closely related to B. elkanii than to B. japonicum.

Small-seeded legumes can be cultured enclosed in slant agar tubes if dlese plants are to he used for authenicaiing rhizobia or for enumerating 1-hizobia by the plant-inlection technique. An improved method has been developed with substiluting agar slant lor Korean paper(Har7ji). This method was panicularly useful for legumes with rigid radicle such as Cn.xsin 1mnmame. With this method Bmr!,~li1rzobin,17 sp. stram CN9135 on C nonmne induced root nodules biginning at day 7 of the nodulation period in 6% of the l ~ l a ~ l s , and all of ihe plants nodulated 14 days after inoculation by strain CN9135.
