Abstract
WHILE isolating strains of Rhizobium lupini from the nodules of Lupinus luteus grown on the acid sandy soil of the Nyirség area in north-eastern Hungary, I succeeded in isolating, on a Rhizobium medium, two red micro-organisms. These have been labelled Pr and E.3. They came from places several miles apart. The plants from which the Pr and E.3 strains derived were in a state of fluorescence and conspicuously larger than the surrounding lupins.
