A soil bacterium was isolated from maize roots cultivated in Korea (KNUC153). The isolate was partially classified on basis of l6S rDNA sequence analysis as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. By the acetylene reduction assay (ARA), the strain KNUC153 contained nitrogen-fixing abilities. The amount of auxin produced by the strain KNUC153 was $77.6\;{\mu}g/ml$. The strain KNUC153 produced 4 times higher amount of l-amino-cyclopropane-l-carboxy­lic acid deaminase than that of the other known strain Azospirillum sp. KNUC82. Inoculation treatment with the strain KNUC153 for maize seeds showed positive effect on early growth of the plants.

The diversity elucidation by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis and 16S rDNA sequencing of 96 associative diazotrophs, isolated from the feeder roots of tea on enriched nitrogen-free semisolid media, revealed the predominance of Gram-positive over Gram-negative bacteria within the Kangra valley in Himachal Pradesh, India. The Gram-positive bacteria observed belong to two taxonomic groupings; Firmicutes, including the genera Bacillus and Paenibacillus; and Actinobacteria, represented by the genus Microbacterium. The Gram-negative bacteria included ${\alpha}$-Proteobacteria genera Brevundimonas, Rhizobium, and Mesorhizobium; ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria genera Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas; and ${\beta}$-Proteobacteria genera Azospira, Burkholderia, Delftia, Herbaspirillum and Ralstonia. The low level of similarity of two isolates, with the type strains Paenibacillus xinjiangensis and Mesorhizobium albiziae, suggests the possibility of raising species novum. The bacterial strains of different phylogenetic groups exhibited distinct carbon-source utilization patterns and fatty acid methyl ester profiles. The strains differed in their nitrogenase activities with relatively high activity seen in the Gramnegative strains exhibiting the highest similarity to Azospira oryzae, Delftia lacustris and Herbaspirillum huttiense.

Bacteria were isolated from roots of sugarcane varieties grown in the fields of Punjab. They were identified by using API20E/NE bacterial identification kits and from sequences of 16S rRNA and amplicons of the cpn60 gene. The majority of bacteria were found to belong to the genera of Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, and Klebsiella, but members of genera Azospirillum, Rhizobium, Rahnella, Delftia, Caulobacter, Pannonibacter, Xanthomonas, and Stenotrophomonas were also found. The community, however, was dominated by members of the Pseudomonadaceae and Enterobacteriaceae, as representatives of these genera were found in samples from every variety and location examined. All isolates were tested for the presence of five enzymes and seven factors known to be associated with plant growth promotion. Ten isolates showed lipase activity and eight were positive for protease activity. Cellulase, chitinase, and pectinase were not detected in any strain. Nine strains showed nitrogen fixing ability (acetylene reduction assay) and 26 were capable of solubilizing phosphate. In the presence of 100 mg/l tryptophan, all strains except one produced indole acetic acid in the growth medium. All isolates were positive for ACC deaminase activity. Six strains produced homoserine lactones and three produced HCN and hexamate type siderophores. One isolate was capable of inhibiting the growth of 24 pathogenic fungal strains of Colletotrichum, Fusarium, Pythium, and Rhizoctonia spp. In tests of their abilities to grow under a range of temperature, pH, and NaCl concentrations, all isolates grew well on plates with 3% NaCl and most of them grew well at 4 to $41^{\circ}C$ and at pH 11.

전보(前報)에 이어 우리나라 전국(全國) 60개(個) 밭 토양(土壤)에서 분리(分離)한 토착근류균(土着根瘤菌)을 대두작부형별(大豆作付型別)로 구분(區分)하여 질소고정력(窒素固定力) 및 몇가지 생리적(生理的) 특성(特性)을 비교(比較) 검토(檢討)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 토착근류균(土着根瘤菌)을 대두재배지(大豆栽培地)로 부터 133개균주(個菌株), 무재배지(無栽培地)에서 125개균주(個菌株)를 분리(分離)하여 free-living 상태(狀態)에서 아세칠렌 환원력(還元力)을 측정(測定)한 결과(結果), 전자(前者)에서 12.8%, 후자(後者)에서는 6.4%로 평균(平均) 9.7%가 4n mole $C_2H_4$/tube/hr 이상(以上)의 아세칠렌 환원력(還元力)을 보였다. 2. 토착근류균(土着根瘤菌)의 분리(分離) 326개(個) 균주(菌株)를 litmus milk 검정(檢定)으로 산(酸) 및 알카리 생성반응(生成反應)을 조사(調査)한 결과(結果), 산(酸) 생성균(生成菌)은 대두재배지(大豆栽培地)에서 분리(分離)한 균(菌)은 34%, 무재배지(無栽培地)의 분리균(分離菌)은 20%였으나, 알카리 생성균(生成菌)이 산(酸) 생성균(生成菌) 보다 두 토양(土壤) 모두 많았다. 또한 토착근류균(土着根瘤菌)중 serum zone 양성균주(陽性菌株)는 대두무재배지(大豆無栽培地)의 분리균(分離菌)에서 68%, 대두재배지(大豆栽培地)의 분리균(分離菌)이 47%로서 대두무재배지(大豆無栽培地)의 분리균(分離菌)에서 많은 serum zone 양성반응(陽性反應)을 보였다. 3. 토양심층별(土壤深層別) 토착근류균수(土着根瘤菌數)는 하층토 보다 표토층에서 현저(顯著)히 많았으나, 작부형간(作付型間)에는 큰 차이(差異)가 없었다. 그러나 이들 균수(菌數)중 대두(大豆)에 감염(感染)할 수 있는 토착대두근류균(土着大豆根瘤菌)은 대두재배지(大豆栽培地)에서 2.3~23.0 cells/g soil, 대두무재배지(大豆無栽培地)에서 0.9~9.2 cells/g soil로서 표토층에서 하층토로 갈수록 현저(顯著)히 감소(減小)하였다.
