Construction and environmental release of a Sinorhizobium meliloti strain genetically modified to be more competitive for alfalfa nodulation
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium strains. The use of the putA gene in increasing the Sinorhizobium meliloti strain's competitiveness has been investigated, and the results are discussed.

Improved properties of Baker's yeast mutants resistant to 2-deoxy-D-glucose
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the spontaneous mutants from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The isolation of these mutants resistant to 2-deoxy-D-glucose has been carried out and the results indicate their improved fermentative capacity on sweet doughs.

Isolation and characterization of alfalfa-nodulating rhizobia present in acidic soils of Central Argentina and Uruguay
Article Abstract:
Two rhizobial populations with pronounced differences in their acid tolerance and symbiotic properties were found to be present in alfalfa-nodulating rhizobia from acid soils of different locations in Central Argentina and Uruguay. The 15 acid-tolerant isolates were able to grow at pH 5.0 and formed nodules in alfalfa with a low rate of nitrogen fixation. They also share a genetic background closely related to that of Rhizobium sp. Or191 recovered from an acid soil in Oregon. Results demonstrate that similar populations of acid-tolerant alfalfa-nodulating rhizobia exist in geographically distant regions where soil acidity is a common characteristic.
