title: THE GROWTH OF BRADYRHIZOBIUM JAPONICUM AT CULTIVATION IN THE GEL MEDIUM
abstract: The influence of exopolysaccharideacrylamide (EPAA) in a liquid medium on the growth, retaining of viability and virulence of soybean rhizobia under the periodic cultivation conditions was investigated. It was observed that maximum titer of B. japonicum M-8 (B-7198) and B. japonicum 36 (B-1798) at thickening of medium has increased by 31.4% and 79.4% respectively. In the phase of exponential growth the upward trend in growth activity of rhizobia in the gel medium was observed. It was shown that
