Abstract
Although quantitative differences were observed between the two plant species in some morphological and physiological groups of bacteria on the seeds and rhizospheres there were similarities in the occurrence of certain physiological and nutritional groups of bacteria on the seed as well as on the rhizosphere. The occurrence of some genera of fungi on the seeds and in the rhizosphere indicated the influence of both seeds and root exudations on the rhizosphere effect. An increase in root exudations of amino acids and sugars correlated with a concomitant increase in microbial activity in the rhizosphere on the 15th day of growth in both plant species, and there was a delayed effect of the exuded chemicals on the rhizosphere microflora after 30 days of plant growth
