Phenotypic identification of this strain with the Biotype-100 system was confirmed by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis. After inoculation of wheat seedlings with strain NAS206, colonization increased at the rhizoplane and in root-adhering soil (RAS) but not in bulk soil. Colonization further increased under relatively dry conditions (20% soil water content; matric potential, \u22120.55 MPa). By means of genetic fingerprinting using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR, we were able to verify that colonies counted as strain NAS206 on agar plates descended from inoculated strain NAS206. The intense colonization of the wheat rhizosphere by these EPS-producing bacteria was associated with significant soil aggregation, as shown by increased ratios of RAS dry mass to root tissue (RT) dry mass (RAS\/RT) and the improved water stability of adhering soil aggregates. The maximum effect of strain NAS206 on both the RAS\/RT ratio and aggregate stability was measured at 24% average soil water content (matric potential, \u22120.20 MPa). Inoculated strain NAS206 improved RAS macroporosity (pore diameter, 10 to 30 \u03bcm) compared to the noninoculated control, particularly when the soil was nearly water saturated (matric potential, \u22120.05 MPa).
