Eukaryotes often form symbioses with microorganisms. Among these, associations between
plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are responsible for the nitrogen input into various …

Leguminous plants possess the almost unique ability to enter symbiosis with soil-resident,
nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobia. During this symbiosis, the bacteria physically …

▪ Abstract Rhizobia are soil bacteria that can engage in a symbiosis with leguminous plants
that produces nitrogen-fixing root nodules. This symbiosis is based on specific recognition of …

The Mesorhizobium loti strain R7A symbiosis island is a 502-kb chromosomally integrated
element which transfers to nonsymbiotic mesorhizobia in the environment, converting them …

Biological nitrogen fixation is a process that can only be performed by certain prokaryotes. In
some cases, such bacteria are able to fix nitrogen in a symbiotic relationship with plants …

The Rhizobia are collectively comprised of gram negative soil bacteria that have the ability
to form symbiotic nitrogen-fixing root and/or stem nodules in association with leguminous …

The present review gives a critical assessment of the literature dealing with symbiosis
between rhizobia and legumes and between AM fungi and most plants. Associative N2 …

Phylogenetic studies are contributing greatly to our knowledge of relationships on both sides
of the plant–bacteria nodulation symbiosis. Multiple origins of nodulation (perhaps even …

The cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has a complex ultrastructure that consists of
mycolic acids connected to peptidoglycan via arabinogalactan (AG) and abbreviated as the …

Key message Compatible interaction between rhizobial Nod factors and host receptors
enables initial recognition and signaling events during legume-rhizobia symbiosis. Abstract …
