Answer:

Rhizobia is "the group of soil bacteria that infect the roots of legumes to form root nodules". Rhizobia are found in the soil and after infection, produce nodules in the legume where they fix nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere turning it into a more readily useable form of nitrogen.

Rhizobium is a genus of Gram-negative soil bacteria that fix nitrogen. Rhizobium species from an endosymbiotic nitrogen-fixing association with roots of legumes and Parasponia.

The bacteria colonize plant cells within root nodules, where they convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia using the enzyme nitrogenase and then provide organic nitrogenous compounds such as glutamine or ureides to the plant. The plant, in turn, provides the bacteria with organic compounds made by photosynthesis.[2] This mutually beneficial relationship is true of all of the rhizobia, of which the genus Rhizobium is a typical example.
