| burkholderia vietnamiensis isolated from root tissues of nipa palm (nypa fruticans) in sarawak, malaysia, proved to be its major endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium. | root-associating bacteria of the nipa palm (nypa fruticans), preferring brackish-water affected mud in sarawak, malaysia, were investigated. in a comparison of rhizobacterial microbiota between the nipa and the sago (metroxylon sagu) palm, it was found that the nipa palm possessed a group of burkholderia vietnamiensis as its main active nitrogen-fixing endophytic bacterium. acetylene reduction by the various isolates of b. vietnamiensis was constant (44 to 68 nmol h(-1) in ethylene production ra ... | 2010 | 20834139 |
