Azorhizobium Doebereinerae
''Azorhizobium doebereinerae'' is a species of bacteria in the family Xanthobacteraceae. Strains of this species were originally isolated from root nodules of the shrub '' Sesbania virgata'' in Brazil. They have also been found in other ''Sesbania ''Sesbania'' is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, and the only genus found in tribe Sesbanieae.

Xanthobacteraceae
The Xanthobacteraceae are a family of bacteria. Among others, they include '' Azorhizobium'', a genus of rhizobia. ''Xanthobacteraceae'' is a diverse group of Gram-negative, rod-shaped, sometimes twisted chemoorganotrophic or facultative chemolithoautotrophic bacteria which might be motile or non-motile depending on the bacteria. Cells are 0.4–1.0 × 0.8–6 µm. However, if cells are grown in the presence of alcohol as a sole carbon source the cells can be up to 10 µm long. None of the bacteria form spores and colonies are opaque and slimy. As the bacteria contains zeaxanthin dirhamnoside the colony looks slightly yellow. In 1978, Wiegel et al established the genus ''Xanthobacter'' based on the numerical taxonomic comparisons of microorganism that was included at that time to the genus ''Corynebacterium.'' In 2005, based on comparison of 16S rRNA of the members of Alphaproteobacteria, Lee ''et al''. proposed the family ''Xanthobacteraceae'' with five genera includi ...

Root Nodule
Root nodules are found on the roots of plants, primarily legumes, that form a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Under nitrogen-limiting conditions, capable plants form a symbiotic relationship with a host-specific strain of bacteria known as rhizobia. This process has evolved multiple times within the legumes, as well as in other species found within the Rosid clade. Legume crops include beans, peas, and soybeans. Within legume root nodules, nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3), which is then assimilated into amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA and RNA as well as the important energy molecule ATP), and other cellular constituents such as vitamins, flavones, and hormones. Their ability to fix gaseous nitrogen makes legumes an ideal agricultural organism as their requirement for nitrogen fertilizer is reduced. Indeed, high nitrogen content blocks nodule development as there is no benefit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sesbania Virgata
''Sesbania'' is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, and the only genus found in tribe Sesbanieae. Riverhemp is a common name for plants in this genus. Notable species include the rattlebox ('' Sesbania punicea''), spiny sesbania ('' Sesbania bispinosa''), and ''Sesbania sesban'', which is used in cooking. Plants of this genus, some of which are aquatic, can be used in alley cropping to increase the soil's nitrogen content. The species of rhizobia responsible for nitrogen fixation in ''Sesbania rostrata'' is '' Azorhizobium caulinodans''. Some 60 species are currently accepted, with about 39 still unresolved. The largest number of species are found in Africa, and the remainder in Australia, Hawaii, and Asia. Fossil record Fossil seed pods from the upper Oligocene resembling ''Sesbania'' have been found in the Hungarian locality of Eger Wind-brickyard. The fossil species grew in a swampy and riparian environment.Distribution of Legumes in the Tertiary of Hung ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hyphomicrobiales
The ''Hyphomicrobiales'' are an order of Gram-negative Alphaproteobacteria. The rhizobia, which fix nitrogen and are symbiotic with plant roots, appear in several different families. The four families ''Nitrobacteraceae'', ''Hyphomicrobiaceae'', '' Phyllobacteriaceae'', and ''Rhizobiaceae'' contain at least several genera of nitrogen-fixing, legume-nodulating, microsymbiotic bacteria. Examples are the genera ''Bradyrhizobium'' and ''Rhizobium''. Species of the ''Methylocystaceae'' are methanotrophs; they use methanol (CH3OH) or methane (CH4) as their sole energy and carbon sources. Other important genera are the human pathogens ''Bartonella'' and ''Brucella'', as well as ''Agrobacterium'' (useful in genetic engineering).
