The effect of 23 bacterial strains from ricefields in the tropics on rice seed germination and on radicle and hypocotyl development of four rice cultivars was determined. There was a varietal difference in response to seed bacterization with the different bacterial strains. Germination of cv. IR58 increased 78 to 93%, that of cv. IR64, from 89 to 97%. Less effects on germination of cv. IR42 and IR36 were observed. All strains inhibited the mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani in vitro. The three strains, identified as Bacillus subtilis, inhibited the mycelial growth of eight fungal pathogens whereas the other strains were pathogen-specific. Seed bacterization with these bacterial strains provided a sheath blight protection of 4.5 to 73% in the glasshouse trial. These 23 bacterial strains were identified by phenotypic tests using the API systems, morphological and biochemical features, and by comparison of electrophoretic patterns after sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Bacterial strains were identified (number of strains in brackets) as: Bacillus subtilis (3), Bacillus laterosporus (1), Bacillus pumilus (1), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7), Pseudomonas belonging to section 1 (5), Erwinia herbicola-like (1), and Serratia marcescens (1). The features of the other four strains were similar to Serratia except for the DNAase and lipase activities
