the utilization of atmospheric nitrogen in the synthesis ofAMINO ACIDSby some bacteria. Such bacteria can be free-living (e.g.Azotobacter,an aerobe;Clostridium,an obligate anaerobe) while others (e.g.Rhizobium)live in association with plants, occupying swellings in the root calledroot nodules.The...

Nitrogen fixation takes place in a wide variety of bacteria, the best known of which is rhizobium which is found in nodules on the roots of leguminous plants such as peas, beans, soya and clover. The essential constituents of this and all other nitrogen-fixing bacteria are: (i) adenosine ...

we study how different crop combinations influence the interaction between peanut plants and their rhizosphere microbiota via metabolite deposition and functional responses of free-living and symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Based on a long-term (8 year) diversified cropping field experiment, we find ...
Horizontal gene transfer of the Mer operon is associated with large effects on the transcriptome and increased tolerance to mercury in nitrogen-fixing bacteria Aditi Bhat, Reena Sharma, Kumaran Desigan, M. Mercedes Lucas, Ankita Mishra, Robert M. Bowers, Tanja Woyke, Brendan Epstein, ...
Rhizobia are soil bacteria that establish symbiotic relationships with legumes and fix nitrogen in root nodules. We recently reported that several nitrogen-fixing rhizobial strains, belonging to Rhizobium phaseoli, R. trifolii, R. grahamii and Sinorhizobium americanum, were able to colonize Phaseolus vu...
the total DNA of cultivated sludge taken from the bottom of the system was extracted by molecular biology methods.With the total DNA partial 16S rDNA sequence of ANAMMOX bacteria was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)with a pair of specific primers Pla46rc/Amx820.Amplified product was ...
