DNA Colony Hybridization to Identify Strains Free

Abstract

DNA colony hybridization was found to have a high generic and strain specificity for We have assessed the use of this technique to determine occupancy of nodules by strains of and found that its high degree of specificity allowed successful identification of rhizobia from nodules. Other techniques currently available for determining the strain involved in forminsg a particular nodule lack specificity or interfere with symbiotic capabilities of the rhizobia.
