IntroductionGeneralCollection of rhizobia, their maintenance, multiplication, and distribution have been regarded as an important supportactivity for those concerned with research on biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) at ICRISAT Center. Initially, collectionand maintenance of rhizobia of several legumes of interest in the semi-arid tropics were attempted. But this activity wassubsequently restricted to ICRISAT's mandate legumes: chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.)Millsp.], and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). Thus we have lyophilized rhizobia of some other legume crops and theseare provided on request as long as stocks last. Rhizobium strains of the legumes nodulated by the cowpea group rhizobiahave been grouped with pigeonpea Rhizobium strains. We have maintained all the Rhizobium strains of mandate legumesthat we isolated or received, irrespective of their effectiveness, in the hope that these have characteristics which may beof interest to researchers elsewhere.Very few nodule collection trips have been undertaken by ICRISAT staff. Instead, researchers in different countriesand regions were requested to send dried nodules of the legumes of interest in vials containing calcium chloride asdesiccant. Rhizobia were isolated from these dried nodules, generally with about an 80% success rate. The limitedinformation collected on these strains includes: location, soil type at collection site, growth rate and effectiveness of thestrains.Purpose of the CatalogWe have prepared this catalog to provide information onthe Rhizobium collection at ICRISAT Center to thoseinterested in BNF in chickpea, groundnut, and pigeonpea,who may request any strain in the collection for researchpurposes. The catalog thus provides users with a list bywhich to identify their requirements.Structure of the CatalogThe data sheets of Rhizobium strains were generated directlyfrom a database. This has been maintained onICRISAT's VAX 11/780 computer using system 1032software (Version V6.00-0, copyright 1986, SoftwareHouse). The pattern of strain information records used byHalliday and Somasegaran (1984) 1 was adopted, witheach strain record having 13 items of information. However,for preparation of this catalog we have provided theinformation in two sections. Section A contains completedata sheets of Rhizobium strains widely used. Section Blists all the Rhizobium strains together with details oforigin, and some characteristics such as culture pH, effectiveness, growth rate, and synonyms.About the CollectionMost of the strains are stored at 4°C in lyophilized form.The listed strains were checked for purity and nodulationunder axenic culture conditions prior to lyophilization.Most cultures have also been tested for viability and purityafter lyophilization.NomenclatureIn Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, noduleformingbacteria have been classified by Jordan (1984) 2into two genera: Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium. Speciesof the former genus are generally fast growers, and of thelatter, slow growers. As per this classification, the nodule-formingbacteria of all the three legumes catalogedhere are to be called Bradyrhizobium sp, followed immediatelyby the name of the host plant given in parentheses.About 13% of the strains listed in this catalog are fastgrowers. The strains isolated from chickpea nodules arehighly specific and do not nodulate any other host. To ourknowledge not many Rhizobium strains of these legumeshave been analysed for base ratios (Mol % G+C of DNA)— an important classification criterion besides thegrowth rate. It is hoped that over time many of the strainsmay attract the attention of researchers who may thenhelp classify this collection into Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobiumstrains. However, for the purpose of thiscatalog we opt to use the word Rhizobium to apply to boththe Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium strains.1. Halliday, J., and Somasegaran, P. 1984.

Strain CharacteristicsMost of the strains in this catalog were tested for symbioticeffectiveness in pots or in Leonard jars along withcheck strains; IC 2002 for chickpea, IC 3195 for pigeonpea,and IC 7001 for groundnut. The strains wererated for effectiveness based on the total dry matter producedor on total N-uptake, wherever measured. Strainsthat performed better than the check were designatedhighly effective (H). Those which performed similar tothe check were named effective (E). Those performingless than the check were considered moderately effective(M). Ineffective (I) strains were those which resulted inplant growth similar to the noninoculated control.Purified cultures were grown on yeast-extract mannitolagar at 28°C, and the time taken for appearance ofisolated colonies of 2-mm diameter was recorded. Thestrains growing well in 2-3 days were classified as fastand the rest of them as slow. It was apparent that most ofthe strains in our collection were slow growers, in particularall the strains of chickpea. Culture pH was observedby growing the strains on yeast-extract mannitol agarcontaining bromothymol blue, and observed for changein color of the dye. Strains causing a change in color fromgreen to yellow are classified as 'acidic', those resultingin a blue color as 'alkaline', and the rest as 'neutral'.Details about the nodule collection site were satisfactorilyrecorded, particularly for those nodules collected atICRISAT Center. The pH and EC (dS m -1 ) of almost allfields at ICRISAT Center ranged from 8.1 to 8.2 and 0.1to 0.2 in Vertisols and from 5.9 to 6.1 and 0.1 to 0.2 inAlfisols. Exceptions have been indicated appropriately.All available details on nodules or Rhizobium strains havebeen listed in relevant columns.Supply of Rhizobium StrainsRhizobium strains mentioned in this catalog are suppliedon request. Requests should be addressed to the Head,Division of Crop Physiology, Legumes Program, ICRI-SAT, Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh 502 324, India. Culturesare generally despatched within 2 weeks afterreceipt of a request.Request for InformationIt is proposed to update the database periodically. Hencewe request all concerned to submit to ICRISAT Centeradditional information on any of the listed strains. Wealso solicit further submissions of Rhizobium strains forchickpea, pigeonpea, or groundnut.Country CodesArgentina ARG Australia AUSBangladesh BGD Bolivia BOLBrazil BRA Colombia COLIndia IND Iran IRNIsrael ISR Jordan JORKenya KEN Malawi M W IPanama PAN Paraguay PRYSouth Africa ZAF Syria SYRTrinidad & Tobago TTO Turkey TURUnited Kingdom GBR USA USAUSSR SUN Venezuela VENZimbabweZWE2
