TO all of you out there,

We have had what is for me an interesting phenomenon in Phaseolus vulgaris
nodulated with Rhizobium leguminosarum (etli). Nodules after 4.5 weeks growth
developed well, however, individual nodules developed a green tinge
to them and this had no relation to their location on the roots.
Macroscopically the entire cross section of the nodule was green, in place of
the pink leghaemoglobin I'm familiar with.

	Any ideas or am I missing something??
