Question

Rhizobium bacteria what is their function

Answer 1

Nitrogen is the most commonly deficient nutrient in many soils aroundthe world and it is the most commonly supplied plant nutrient. Supply of nitrogen through fertilizers has severe environmental concerns. Rhizobia is "the group of soil bacteria that infectthe roots of legumes to form root nodules".

Answer 2

Answer:

Rhizobium–legume symbioses are of great ecological and agronomic importance, due to their ability to fix large amounts of atmospheric nitrogen. These symbioses result in the formation on legume roots of differentiated organs called nodules, in which the bacteria reduce nitrogen into ammonia used by the host plant.
