Popis: | Bradyrhizobium elkanii forms symbiotic nitrogen-fixing nodules with a broad range of legumes including soybeans and mungbeans. In addition to its mutualistic interaction with legumes, B. elkanii synthesizes a phytotoxin, rhizobitoxine, in culture and in the nodule that causes foliar chlorosis on some legume hosts. Thus this microsymbiont has both mutualistic as well as pathogenic characteristics. |
