In the mutualism established between legumes and soil bacteria known as rhizobia, bacteria from soil infect plants roots and reproduce inside root nodules where they fix atmospheric N 2 for plant nutri- tion, receiving ...

Rhizobia are soil bacteria that engage into a mutualistic symbiosis with plants and benefit the host by fixing atmospheric N. In addition, rhizobia can be considered as biocontrol agents, contributing to plant health through ...

Motility allows populations of bacteria to rapidly reach and colonize new microniches or microhabitats. The motility ofrhizobia (symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria that nodulate legume roots) is an important factor determining ...

Biofilms are bacterial communities enclosed within an extracellular matrix of polysaccharides produced by the bacteria, which adhere to a living or an inert macrosurface. In nature, biofilms constitute a protected growth ...

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major problem affecting soil fertility, microbial diversity, and nutrient uptake of plants. Rhizobia response and legume interaction under Al conditions are still unknown; it is important to ...

The anatomy and ultrastructure of root nodules of Anadenanthera peregrina var. falcata (Leguminosae-Mimosoideae) were analysed, as was plant growth. To ensure that nodules developed, seedlings were inoculated with a mixture ...
