Rhizobium forms a symbiotic relationship with certain plants, such as legumes, fixing nitrogen from the air into ammonia, which acts as a natural fertilizer for the plants. The Agricultural Research Service is conducting research involving the genetic mapping of various rhizobial species with their respective symbiotic plant species, like ...
The host plant provides the bacteria with amino acids so they do not need to assimilate ammonia. [5] The amino acids are then shuttled back to the plant with newly fixed nitrogen. Nitrogenase is an enzyme involved in nitrogen fixation and requires anaerobic conditions. Membranes within root nodules are able to provide these conditions.
Ensifer meliloti (formerly Rhizobium meliloti and Sinorhizobium meliloti) [10] are an aerobic, Gram-negative, and diazotrophic species of bacteria. S. meliloti are motile and possess a cluster of peritrichous flagella. [11] S. meliloti fix atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia for their legume hosts, such as alfalfa.
Bradyrhizobium species are Gram-negative bacilli (rod-shaped) with a single subpolar or polar flagellum.They are common soil-dwelling micro-organisms that can form symbiotic relationships with leguminous plant species where they fix nitrogen in exchange for carbohydrates from the plant.
Mesorhizobium loti, formerly known as Rhizobium loti, [1] is a Gram negative species of bacteria found in the root nodules of many plant species. [2] Its name is a reference to Lotus corniculatus , a flowering plant from which it was originally isolated.

Ensifer fredii is a nitrogen fixing bacterium. [2] It is a fast-growing root nodule bacterium. Ensifer fredii exhibits a broad host-range and is able to nodulate both determinant hosts, such as soy, as well as indeterminate hosts including the pigeon pea.
