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, balllike 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.

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.
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 Bradyrhizobium
japonicum 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.
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.

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.
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.
