Making use of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) with pulses and green manure legumes can
help to alleviate nitrogen deficiencies and increase soil fertility, problems faced particularly …

The origin of nitrogen fixation is an important issue in evolutionary biology. While nitrogen is
required by all living organisms, only a small fraction of bacteria and archaea can fix …

Agrobacterium populations live in different habitats (bare soil, rhizosphere, host plants), and
hence face different environmental constraints. They have evolved the capacity to exploit …

Root nodules of legume plants are primarily inhabited by rhizobial nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Here, we propose two new Rhizobiales species isolated from root nodules of common …

In this work, we analyzed the diversity of seventy-six bacteria isolated from Pea and faba
bean nodules in two regions of Morocco. The molecular diversity was realized using the …
