Rhizobium (Stowers, 1985; Elkan, 1987). The 5% inoculum size of 6 days cultured was used in this<br />

experiment.<br />

The recommended inoculum level was between 1 and 10%; however, a higher level of<br />

inoculum will decrease the time in a given fermentor and was an advantage with the slow-growing<br />

rhizobia because it decreased the opportunity for contamination (Elkan, 1987; Vincent, 1982) To<br />

check the contamination in the cultured medium, beside to observed the appearance of colony during<br />
