Although soybeans generally supply up to 90% of their own nitrogen needs through their beneficial relationship with Rhizobium bacteria 1 and via the soil 2, there are several factors that can ...

Hungria isolated strains of a soil bacteria named rhizobia and developed a way to inoculate it in the soybean seeds used in Brazil. The strains helped the soy plants extract more nitrogen from the ...

Hungria isolated useful strains of bacteria called rhizobia which inhabit nodules on soybean roots, capture nitrogen from the air and convert it into a form that feeds the plant. She also ...

Hungria's research focused on isolating strains of bacteria like rhizobia that help soybean plants access nitrogen, and Azospirillum, which boosts root growth in crops such as corn and wheat.

The human gut hosts a vast number and variety of microorganisms. Every person has different types and amounts of bacteria in their gut. Some types may increase the amount of energy the person ...

Legumes are well known for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in the ground. They do this with the help of Rhizobium bacteria in their root nodules. Because of this little symbiotic friendship, ...

Also exploring the potential of omic-based strategies, the tungsten-stress response of soybean (Glycine max) in symbiotic relationships with Rhizobium bacteria was characterized by Preiner et al.

Microbial taxonomic diversity was affected by soil chemistry, plant diversity, and vegetation structure. Bacteria taxa richness fluctuated over time, whereas fungal taxa richness demonstrated ...
