MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1

Which of the following microorganisms can fix nitrogen symbiotically?

(A) Anabaena
(B) Azotobacter
(C) Frankia
(D) Ulothrix
(E) Bradyrhizobium

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?

(A) एनाबीना (Anabaena)
(B) एज़ोटोबैक्टर (Azotobacter)
(C) फ्रैंकिया (Frankia)
(D) यूलोथ्रिक्स (Ulothrix)
(E) ब्रैडीराइजोबियम (Bradyrhizobium)

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.
Thus, (A), (C), and (E) can fix nitrogen symbiotically. Correct Answer: Option 2 ((A), (C) and (E) only).
