Symbiotic bacteria

Symbiotic bacteria

In agriculture, usually relates to bacteria in nodules growing on the roots of legumes which have the ability to fix free nitrogen from he atmosphere into forms which can be utilised by the host legume plant. Agronomically, the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis is most important as it results in appreciable nitrogen gains for he system. This is a true symbiosis as neither plant nor bacterium utilises atmospheric nitrogen (N2 ) in the absence of the second organism.
