e1“The greatest numbers of bacteria, observed with SEM (529 mm-2), and the greatest number of culturable bacteria (9.9 × 107 CFU · g-1 or 5178 CFU · mm-2) were on rhizosheaths of C. longifolia”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Culturable bacteria were most numerous on Calamovilfa longifolia rhizosheaths, at 9.9 × 107 CFU · g-1 or 5178 CFU · mm-2.
- Association Rhizosheaths of the grasses had a higher density of bacteria than the surrounding soil.
- Observation Nitrogen fixation was present in some rhizosheaths of the grasses.
- Observation nifH gene sequences from rhizosheath bacteria were most similar to those of Alcaligenes latus and Mesorhizobium loti.
