Plant-associated bacteria
Developed on the theme of plant-associated bacteria. Divided into two parts, this book includes chapters on symbiotic nitrogen fixers, diazotrophs, epiphytes, endophytes and rhizosphere bacteria and deleterious rhizobacteria. It consists of descriptions of plant pathogenic bacteria: Agrobacterium, C...
