Evolution of nitrogen fixation in spatially structured populations of Rhizobium.

Heredity - 1 Oct 2000

Bever J D, Simms E L

Abstract excerpt

Symbiosis between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria is thought to bring mutual benefit to each participant. However, it is not known how rhizobia benefit from nodulation of legume hosts because they fix nitrogen only after differentiating into bacteroids, terminally differentiated cells that cannot reproduce. Because free-living rhizobia can reproduce, and may benefit from the increase of plant root exudates...
