Rhizobium

Rhizobium, which is the nitrogen fixing bacteria on legumes 'roots and is quite necessary and beneficial for plant growth.

Chapter 6 1980

Beneath the rosette of leaves, a large mass of roots has the ability to form nitrogen-fixing nodules called Rhizobium which are filled with beneficial bacteria that can take nitrogen from the atmosphere and feed the plant.

Or like the flagellar motor which we see in Rhizobium and many other bacteria.

Scientists' Responses Solicited James F. McGrath 2008

Examples of mutualisms include Rhizobium bacteria growing in nodules on the roots of legume plants, insects pollinating the flowers of angiosperms, or cleaner fish and client fish.

These include the bacteria species Rhizobium, which lives on the root nodules of legumes, and cyanobacteria (sometimes called blue-green algae), which are ubiquitous to water and soil environments.

Examples include lichens (a symbiosis between a fungus and an alga), as well as associations between mycorrhizal fungi and plants, between Rhizobium bacteria and legumes, and between corals and zooxanthellae.

Mutualism 2008

Species of Rhizobium bacteria invade the roots of legume plants and convert abundant nitrogen in the air into a form that the plant can use directly to make amino acids and thus proteins.
