The purity of the bacterial strains employed was insured, as far as possible with available technic, by employing only cultures grown from individual bacterial cells. The method employed in isolating and culturing these single bacterial cells has been described by Wright, Hendrickson and Riker (1930). The parent cultures employed in these studies were isolated from various hosts secured from widely separated regions. The crown-gall cultures used in this study were secured as follows: A black-raspberry gall grown in Iowa in 1924 was the source of culture T5 from which seven single-cell cultures were secured. An almond gall grown in California in 1913 was the source of culture T2 from which four single-cell cultures were isolated. A walnut gall grown in California in 1926 was the source of T37 from which three single-cell cultures were obtained. Culture T3 was secured in 1916 from incense cedar and was the source of four single-cell cultures used. The writers secured some of these cultures through the courtesy of C. 0. Smith and J. H. Muncie. The hairy-root cultures were all obtained from apple. Hairyroot developments in Arkansas and Michigan in 1926 were the sources of cultures T32 and T34, respectively, from which five and four single-cell cultures were isolated. Hairy-root overgrowths secured in Wisconsin in 1925, 1926, and 1926 were the sources, respectively, of cultures T38, T48, and T49 from which three, one, and five single-cell cultures were isolated. From radiobacter cultures R3, R11, and R16, secured from the United States Department of Agriculture, two, three, and two single-cell cultures respectively, were obtained. A summary of the cultures employed shows that 43 single-cell strains were obtained from 4 crown-gall, 5 hairy-root, and 3 radiobacter cultures. These single-cell cultures with their parent cultures, were employed in all the trials unless otherwise noted. Earlier trials of the pathogenicity of the parent cultures have been recorded by Riker et al. (1930). Physiological tests were employed with these cultures which showed in part their identity. Among these tests were growth
In an earlier paper from this laboratory, Baldwin and Fred (1929a) discussed the characteristics of the root-nodule bacteria and suggested names for five of the common cross-inoculation groups. Specific designation for the organism which forms nodules on the roots of Lupinus was not proposed, since the information concerning this cross-inoculation group was so meager. Schroeter (1886) suggested the name Phytomyxa lupini for the organism which formed nodules on Lupinus luteus and Lupinus angustifolius. Beijerinck (1888) included in a list of seven varieties of Bacillus radicicola, the organism Bacillus radicicola var. Lupini, which formed nodules on Lupinu polyphyllus and Lupinus luteus. Later, in 1890, he used the term Bacillus ornithopi for the organism forming nodules on serradella. Later results have shown that serradella and lupine cross-inoculate. Dangeard (1926) suggested the species name, Rhizobium minimum, for the organism causing nodules on Lupinus. His characterization was based largely on the morphological features of the nodule and the organism therein. In accordance with the rules of nomenclature, it seems that the name Rhizobium lupini, Schroeter, comb. nov. is the most appropriate for the organism capable of forming nodules on the roots of Lupinus. The cultural characters of this organism have not previously been adequately worked out, but most of the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
