Abstract: This paper presents recent information on the biology of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and outlines techniques for isolating and studying the bacterium. Data are presented indicating that A. tumefaciens is a soil inhabitant. The organism was isolated in 18 of 28 California soils, including soils not known to support host plants, and appears to be a rhizosphere organism. In vitro experiments showed that the bacterial cells aggregated around roots of various plants.
