Rhizobia are bacteria that exhibit both endophytic and free-living lifestyles. Endophytic
rhizobial strains are widely known to infect leguminous host plants, while some do infect non …

In legumes, symbiotic nitrogen (N) fixation (SNF) occurs in specialized organs called
nodules after successful interactions between legume hosts and rhizobia. In a nodule, N …
