| On the DNA Content of the Bacteroids of Rhizobium japonicum  | | | Abstract
| The DNA content of bacteroids from large nodules of soybean plants infected with Rhizobium japonicum strain 61 -A -101 was found to be 1.20 x 10~14 g per cell. Bacteroids from smaller nodules had slightly less DNA as did the stationary phase, free-living cells; both giving a value of 0.92 x 10-14 g per cell. In comparing these data with those of other workers it was found that there is little evidence to support suggestions that bacteroids possess anything less than a full genetic complement of DNA and that some misinterpretation of older published data has occurred. | | |
