Bacterial RuBisCO is required for efficient Bradyrhizobium/Aeschynomene symbiosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Rhizobia and legume plants establish symbiotic associations resulting in the formation of organs specialized in nitrogen fixation. In such organs, termed nodules, bacteria differentiate into bacteroids which convert atmospheric nitrogen and supply the ...

Metabolic reconstruction and modeling of nitrogen fixation in Rhizobium etli. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2007 Rhizobiaceas are bacteria that fix nitrogen during symbiosis with plants. This symbiotic relationship is crucial for the nitrogen cycle, and understanding symbiotic mechanisms is a scientific challenge with direct applications in agronomy and plant ...

Electricity-powered artificial root nodule
Nature Communications, 2020 Root nodules are of key importance in nitrogen fixation. Here, the authors report on an electrically powered artificial root nodule for nitrogen fixation made from silicon-based microwires which can accommodate nitrogen fixing symbiotic bacteria for ...
