Experiments of assess the ability of free-living cells of six strains of soybean rhizobia (Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 76, 94, 110, 122, 123 and 135) to denitrify nitrate in five soils showed that although some strains of B. japonicum have the capacity to rapidly denitrify nitrate in soils under anaerobic conditions, it is unlikely that the numbers of soybean rhizobia commonly found under field conditions was sufficient to significantly influence either the extent or the products of denitrification in soil. It is our general conclusion that the advantages, if any, that the ability to denitrify conveys to rhizobia or to the rhizobia-legume symbiosis are not offset by increased losses of plant-available N when denitrifying strains of rhizobia are present as free-living cells in soil.
