The effect of four bacterial and six fungal species on nodulation and growth ofVicia faba cv. Giza 3 inoculated withRhizobium leguminosarum biovarviceae strain RCR 1001 were assessed in a pot experiment.Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Aspergillus niger andA. quadriliniatus either alive cells or sterile filtrate significantly promoted nodulation, growth and nitrogen accumulation. Heat-killed cells had no effect.
