Survival and susceptibility of Rhizobium meliloti to desiccation in some southern Iraqi soils

Studies to estimate the population of Rhizobium meliloti in southern Iraqi soils showed that samples, containing no detectable R. meliloti , occurred in all soils tested. The results showed that the numbers were influenced by soil salinity. The numbers were 0.64 x 10 super(2) g super(-1) in soil wit...

Zusammenfassung:	Studies to estimate the population of Rhizobium meliloti in southern Iraqi soils showed that samples, containing no detectable R. meliloti , occurred in all soils tested. The results showed that the numbers were influenced by soil salinity. The numbers were 0.64 x 10 super(2) g super(-1) in soil with high salts concentration (E. C. = 9.6 mmhos/cm), compared with 2.80 x 10 super(3) g super(-1) in soil with low salinity (E.C. = 3.1 mmhos/cm).
