SYMBIOTIC NITROGEN FIXATION
QUESTION 1: WHAT ARE RHIZOBIA? Rhizobia are one of the groups of microorganisms living in soil. Rhizobia are bacteria which are single cells about one thousandth of a millimetre long. Rhizobia belong to a specific group of bacteria that form a close association with legume plants. This association is called a SYMBIOSIS. The symbiosis results in visible, ball-like structures being formed on roots - these structures are called NODULES. The nodules are formed by the plant IN RESPONSE TO the presence of the bacteria. Rhizobia belong to a family of bacteria called RHIZOBIACEAE. There are a number of groups (genera and species) of bacteria in this family.
The bacteria take nitrogen from the air (which plants cannot use) and convert it into a form of nitrogen called ammonium nitrogen, which plants can use. The process is called NITROGEN FIXATION and these bacteria are often called "NITROGEN FIXERS“ = DIAZOTROPH. Rhizobia can be EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL to plants in areas WHERE THE SOILS ARE LOW IN NITROGEN, if they form associations with legumes in these soils. Rhizobia are found in soils of many natural ecosystems. They may also be present in agricultural areas where they are associated with both crop legumes (like soybean) and pasture legumes (like clover). Usually, the rhizobia in agricultural areas have been introduced when the legumes were sown.
LEGUME-RHIZOBIUM SYMBIOSIS • The subfamilies of legumes (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, Papilionoideae), 700 genera, and 19,700 species of legumes, • Only about 15% of the species have been evaluated for nodulation, • Rhizobium : • Gram -, rod • Most studied symbiotic N2-fixing bacteria • Now subdivided into several genera • Many genes known that are involved in nodulation (nod, nol, noe genes)

QUESTION 2: WHAT IS THE NODULATION PROCESS? The nodulation process is a series of events in which rhizobia interact with the roots of legume plants to form a specialised structure called a ROOT NODULE. The process involves complicated signals between the bacteria and the roots. In the first stages, the bacteria multiply near the root and then adhere to it. Next, the small hairs on the root's surface curl around the bacteria and they enter the root. Alternatively, the bacteria may enter directly through points on the root surface. The method of entry of the bacteria into the root depends on the type of plant.
Once inside the root, the bacteria multiply within thin threads. Signals stimulate cell multiplication of both the plant's cells and the bacteria and this repeated division results in a mass of root cells containing many bacterial cells. Some of these bacteria then change into a form that is able to convert gaseous nitrogen into ammonium nitrogen (that is, they can "fix" nitrogen). These bacteria are then called BACTEROIDS. The shape the nodules form are controlled by the plant and nodules can vary considerably - both in size and shape. Most plants need very specific kinds of rhizobia to form nodules. For example, the rhizobia that form nodules on peas cannot form nodules on clover.
QUESTION 3: WHAT DOES SPECIFICITY MEAN? Specificity is the DEGREE TO WHICH A BACTERIA SPECIES CAN FIX ATMOSPHERIC NITROGEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH MORE THAN ONE HOST SPECIES. For example, the bacteria Bradyrhizobiumjaponicum can only form symbiotic associations with soy bean plants and is said to have HIGH SPECIFICITY. Whereas another bacteria in the genus Bradyrhizobium can form symbiotic associations with both lupins and serradella and so has lower specificity.
QUESTION 4: WHAT IS NITROGENASE? NITROGENASE is the bacterial enzyme that allows atmospheric nitrogen to be converted to ammonium. Enzymes are special kinds of proteins that allow reactions to occur at faster speeds than normal or under less extreme conditions. Without nitrogenase, atmospheric nitrogen can only be converted to ammonium with HIGH PRESSURE and TEMPERATURES. Nitrogenase requires a low oxygen environment to function.

QUESTION 5: WHAT IS LEGHAEMOGLOBIN? LEGHAEMOGLOBIN is an organic molecule made up of two protein molecules that control the flow of oxygen to the bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen. Leghaemoglobin gives the inside of nodules their REDISH PINK COLOURING.
QUESTION 8: HOW ARE RHIZOBIA IDENTIFIED? Rhizobia are identified according to HOW FAST THEY GROW AND MULTIPLY ON ARTIFICIAL FOOD SOURCES. They are very difficult to identify just from their shape or size alone, because all of them are very small and all are shaped like short rods with rounded ends. SO YOU CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENT TYPES APART JUST BY LOOKING AT THEM, EVEN WITH A VERY POWERFUL MICROSCOPE. Rhizobia are usually grouped into "FAST" and "SLOW" growers, based on HOW QUICKLY THEY GROW ON ARTIFICIAL FOOD SOURCES. Recently, new methods of characterisation of rhizobia have been developed using DNA from known rhizobia.
