Proteins in the peribacteroid space (PBS) between the bacteroid outer membrane and the peribacteroid membrane in root nodules of Pisum sativum and Vicia faba induced by Rhizobium leguminosarum PRE were analysed by two‐dimensional (2‐D) gel electrophoresis. Most of the detectable proteins were found to migrate to identical positions; however the level of accumulation of some of these appear to be determined by the host plant. When a different R. leguminosarum strain (RB1) was used to inoculate P. sativum , the majority of the isolated PBS proteins were found to migrate in the 2‐D gel to identical positions as those of the other two combinations ( R. leguminosarum PRE x P. sativum and R. leguminosarum PRE x V. faba ).
