| Abstract: | Twenty-one strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum from different sources or isolated from commercial inoculants were compared and clustered using total DNA hybridization with the repeated sequence RSα, and two antisera. RSα fingerprinting provides a useful method for differentiating strains belonging to the same serogroup and to estimate genotypic relatedness among the strains. |
