Abstract
Around the roots of higher plants, supported at least in part by nutrients derived from those roots, a characteristic ecosystem (termed the rhizosphere) develops. This consists primarily of bacteria and fungi (Rovira and McDougall, 1967). The predominant constituents of the bacterial flora, which may attain a concentration greater than 10 per gram of soil (Lochhead and Thexton, 1947) are members of a relatively few genera including pseudomonads, agrobacteria and enterobacteria.
