Abstract

The effect of three concentrations of ferulic acid on chemotaxis and nodulation of B. japonicum ICA 8001 was studied in this work. The effect of this hydroxycinnamic acid obtained from vainillin was also evaluated and its induction capacity on nodulation genes by Nod factor synthesis detection. A positive but not strong chemotactic activity was obtained and only at 10 mM when it was put in the culture medium it showed a positive influence on nodulation. The
ferulic acid from vainillin increased all nodulation parameters. The nod induction activity of this acid was evident by the production of four different lipochitinoligosaccharide structures.
