[Colonization of cucumber rhizosphere by phosphate-mobilizing bacteria of Bacillus genus]
Abstract:
An ability of phosphate-mobilizing bacteria, related to four species of Bacillus genus, to colonize the cucumber root zone has been investigated. It has been found that all the studied strains can adapt to the root zone of those plants colonizing its parts to different extent. Essential nonuniformity of the root surface populating with bacteria is noted. Microcolonies of these organisms are formed in some root zones. This peculiarity is probably caused both by the difference in the number and composition of exudates of some zones of the plant roots, and by peculiarities of trophic requirements of the strains of studied bacteria The paper is presented in Ukrainian.
