Tóm tắt

Bacterization of seeds of several plant species with Azotobacter vinelandii suspension stimulates their germination to different degrees. This demonstrates that seeds of different species display different sensitivity to the biologically active substances accumulating in the culture liquid of these bacteria. The adhesion patterns of these bacteria to cucumber roots were studied. The maximal number of cells adhered to the root surface at the phase of culture logarithmic growth (24 h), when they were motile. The loss of motility in the stationary growth phase (72 h) decreased the number of cells adhered to roots by 80%.
