Abstract Alcaligenes faecalis isolated from rice roots is widespread in paddy soil of China. It was found to be a close association with rice.A. faecalis accumulate on the rice root surface, and part of them could enter into the rice root. It can grow in the intercellular space, especially inside the root cells, and multiply and fix dinitrogen there.A. faecalis could synthesize nitrogenase when it was grown in the medium containing a high concentration of ammonia. The mechanisms of association are also discussed.
