The sensitivity of Rhizobia isolated from pea, fenugreek, gram, cowpea, urid andRhizobium meliloti, Rhizobium trifolii andRhizobium japonicum was studied in asparagine-mannitol, salt-mannitol and salt media. It was observed that Rhizobia from gram were most resistant.Rhizobium japonicum was found to be resistant up to 50 mg vanillin/100 ml. Vanillin-resistant strains could utilize vanillin as the sole carbon source. In the case of pea, gram and fenugreek vanillin was found to be utilized in the presence of mannitol.
