| description |
The acid tolerance of <i>Sinorhizobium meliloti</i> in culture media and in soils is considered a useful criteria to select for strains with improved survival in agricultural acidic soils. Using a glass tube system with gamma-irradiated soil at different pH values, we analysed the survival of two different alfalfa-nodulating rhizobia: <i>S. meliloti</i> (pH<sub>limit</sub> for growth 5.6–6.0) and the acid-tolerant <i>Rhizobium</i> sp. LPU83, closely related to the strain <i>Rhizobium</i> sp. Or191 (pH<sub>limit</sub> for growth below 5.0). Although the acid-tolerant rhizobia showed a slightly better survival during the first months in acid soil (pH=5.6), none of the strains could be detected 2 months after inoculation (bacterial counts were below 10³ colony-forming units (cfu)/30 g of soil). The inclusion of two alfalfa plants/glass tube with soil, however, supported the persistence of both types of rhizobia at pH 5.6 for over 2 months with counts higher than 9×10⁶ cfu/30 g of soil. Remarkably, in the presence of alfalfa the cell densities reached by <i>S. meliloti</i> were higher than those reached by strain LPU83, which started to decline 1 week after inoculation. Although more acid-sensitive in the culture medium than the Or191-like rhizobia, in the presence of the host plant the <i>S. meliloti</i> strains showed to be better adapted to the free-living condition, irrespective of the pH of the soil. |
