Question

Name the micro organism found in the roots of legumes that can fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into soluble form

Answer 1

The microorganism found in the roots of legumes that can fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into soluble form is a symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria known as Rhizobia.

These bacteria produce nitrogen compounds necessary for plant growth.

On the plant's death, the nitrogen that has been fixed is released to be used by other plants, leading to the fertilization of the soil.
