Notes:
Summary Antibiotic-resistant Rhizobium spp. strains have been used in ecological studies of legumerhizobia symbiosis. It has been suggested that in the course of acquiring resistance against high doses of antibiotics, rhizobia might lose their symbiotic effectiveness. Evidence both for and against this argument has been presented (Kremer and Peterson 1982; Materon and Hagedron 1983). This communication reports our experience with streptomycin-resistant (Str+) mutants of chickpea Rhizobium spp. strains. Parent strains were used as controls.
