Abstract

Agrobacterium tumefaciens was tested for its ability to attach to tissue culture cells of bamboo, a monocotyledonous plant. Phase-contrast microscopy and kinetic experiments with radiolabeled bacteria showed that attachment to bamboo cells was indistinguishable from attachment to cells of dicotyledonous plants. Bacterial mutants defective in attachment to dicotyledonous plants showed similar behavior with bamboo, and extensive washing of the bamboo cells had no effect on the number of bacteria which attached.
