Question

Name the nitrogen fixing bacteria in root nodules of leguminous plants

Answer 1

rhizobia is the nitrogen fixing bacteria in the roots of leguminous plants

Answer 2

Many legumes have root nodules that provide a home for symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia. This relationship is particularly common in nitrogen-limited conditions. The Rhizobiaconvert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonia, which is then used in the formation of amino acids and nucleotides .
