Biochemical Society Transactions, 2021 The interaction between rhizobia and their legume host plants conduces to the formation of specialized root organs called nodules where rhizobia differentiate into bacteroids which fix atmospheric nitrogen to the benefit of the plant. This beneficial symbiosis is of importance in the context of sustainable agriculture as legumes do not require the ...

Agronomie, 2001 Rhizobia are the bacteria that form nitrogen-fixing symbioses with legumes. Based on their characterisation by polyphasic taxonomy, their classification has undergone great changes in recent years. The current six rhizobium genera and 28 recognised species are reviewed here.

How legumes recognize rhizobia [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2015 Legume plants have developed the capacity to establish symbiotic interactions with soil bacteria (known as rhizobia) that can convert N2 to molecular forms that are incorporated into the plant metabolism. The first step of this relationship is the recognition of bacteria by the plant, which allows to distinguish potentially harmful species from ...

Dicarboxylate transport by rhizobia [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2004 Soil bacteria collectively known as rhizobia are able to convert atmospheric dinitrogen to ammonia while participating in a symbiotic association with legume plants. This capability has made the bacteria an attractive research subject at many levels of investigation, especially since physiological and metabolic specialization are central to this ...

Promoter prediction in the rhizobia [PDF]
Microbiology, 2006 The ability to recognize and predict non-σ54promoters in the alphaproteobacteria is not well developed. In this study, 25 experimentally verifiedSinorhizobium melilotipromoter sequences were compiled and used to predict the location of other related promoters in theS. melilotigenome.

Harnessing Rhizobia to Improve Heavy-Metal Phytoremediation by Legumes [PDF]
, 2018 Rhizobia are bacteria that can form symbiotic associations with plants of the Fabaceae family, during which they reduce atmospheric di-nitrogen to ammonia.

The interaction between Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, rhizobia and root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus thornei) in mung bean (Vigna radiata) [PDF]
, 2021 There are a limited number of reports on interactions between the beneficial microsymbionts arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and rhizobia which co-occur with the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus sp. within the roots of legumes.

Auxotrophy in rhizobia revisited [PDF]
Indian Journal of Microbiology, 2007 Among the various types of mutations studied in rhizobia, the auxotrophic mutations (which confer on the mutants the inability to synthesize certain essential substances such as amino acids, vitamins and nucleic acids), are the most favoured ones as these can be used as suitable markers for genetic analysis.

The genetics of symbiotic nitrogen fixation: Comparative genomics of 14 rhizobia strains by resolution of protein clusters [PDF]
, 2012 The symbiotic relationship between legumes and nitrogen fixing bacteria is critical for agriculture, as it may have profound impacts on lowering costs for farmers, on land sustainability, on soil quality, and on mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions ...

Isoflavonoid-inducible resistance to the phytoalexin glyceollin in soybean rhizobia. [PDF]
, 1991 The antibacterial effect of the soybean phytoalexin glyceollin was assayed using a liquid microculture technique. Log-phase cells of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Sinorhizobium fredii were sensitive to glyceollin.
