Abstract

During a cytochemical study of nodule cells in Egyptian clover, Trifolium alexandrinum, it was observed that in addition to the rhizobial bacteria, a blue-green alga, identified as Nostoc punctiforme, occurred inside the nodules. So far as we are aware, blue-green algae have not been reported to be associated with nodule formation in legumes.
