Explain the symbiotic relationship between Rhizobium and pea plant
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 8 months ago

Rhizobium carry out nitrogen fixation. In order for plants to get nitrogen it must first be incorporated into organic compounds such as amino acids in a process known as nitrogen fixation. The Rhizobia absorb nitrogen and use it to make proteins and as a by-product it produces nitrogen-containing ammonium which, unlike the N2 in the air, the plant can take up and use for growth (protein production).
The relationship between legumes and Rhizobium is a form of symbiotic relationship, where both organisms benefit from each other - the plant gets nitrogen from the ammonium and the bacteria receive organic acids from the plant to use as food source.
