Summary
Preliminary results of the common experiment designed to investigate gene transfer in the environment between introduced Rhizobium leguminosarum bv viceae RSM2004 and native strains of bacteria are reported. They show an exclusive nodulation of the pea by wild type strains, which casts some doubt on the successful introduction of the strain. General considerations on the introduction of Rhizobium into soils are given.
