Biochemical test results revealed that all the isolates have the ability to grow on Rhizobial minimal medium. Also results revealed that ability of all isolates to utilize citrate as sole carbon course with exception to R. Leguminosaran bv. trifolii bacteria isolate MH3 which isolated from root. nodules of Trifolium alexandrimum L. and bacteria Ensifer meliloti MH5 and MH6 isolates.
