Abstract

The survival of environmental isolates of actinomycetes introduced with the seeds of agricultural plants in root-free soil and in the rhizosphere and rhizoplane was studied. Different strategies of colonization of the rhizosphere were revealed for the representatives of the genera Streptomyces, Micromonospora, and Streptosporangium, organisms typical for the moderate climate rhizosphere. The plants of winter rye (Secale cereale L.) inoculated with actinomycetes were shown to have growth advantages, while the cow clover plants (Trifolium pratense L.) had no growth advantages compared to uninoculated plants. The role of the plant component in the interaction with mycelial prokaryotes is discussed.
