PROCESS FOR PRODUCING BIOAKTIVE MATERIAL OF YIELD INCREASING ACTIVITY FROM THE NITROGENFIXING ROOTS OF LEGUMINOSAE

摘要

It is proposed that the nodules are removed from the plant roots, cleaned, crushed and mixed with water (4 parts by weight of water to one part of nodule material). The mixt. is homogenised until a thick, milky material is obtained, which is then strained several times to remove foreign material and the fibrous cell-wall material of the nodules. - The suspension is mixed with a further 5 parts of water. The contents of the diluted suspension, mainly proteins, are then precipitated and separated by means of settling and centrifuging.
