Immunochemical Study of Antigenic Properties of Soil Plant- Growth-Promotion Bacteria of the Genus Azospirillum

The results of immunochemical analysis of 63 strains of associative rhizobakteria genus Azospirillum presented in this paper. Significant heterogeneity of O-antigens of strains of A. lipoferum and A. brasi­ lense have been demonstrated, as well as the high similarity of the antigenic properties of LPS strains of A. irakense. Serologically prov­ ed isolated strain A. amazonense. High conservatism of major protein antigens of these bacteria have been showed.
