Which of the following microorganisms can fix nitrogen symbiotically?
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
निम्नलिखित में से कौन से सूक्ष्मजीव सहजीवी रूप से (symbiotically) नाइट्रोजन का स्थिरीकरण कर सकते हैं?
नीचे दिए गए विकल्पों में से सही उत्तर चुनिए:
Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation:
- Anabaena: Filamentous cyanobacterium that establishes nitrogen-fixing endosymbioses with the water fern Azolla (Anabaena azollae) and cycad coralloid roots (Anabaena cycadeae).
- Frankia: Nitrogen-fixing actinobacterium that forms actinorhizal root nodules on non-leguminous woody dicots (Alnus, Casuarina).
- Bradyrhizobium: Slow-growing rhizobacterium forming nitrogen-fixing root nodules on soybean (Glycine max) and cowpea.
- Non-symbiotic / non-nitrogen-fixing organisms:
- Azotobacter: Free-living, aerobic, non-symbiotic diazotroph.
- Ulothrix: Filamentous green alga that does not fix nitrogen.
