AbstractFor agriculture, the symbiosis carried out by rhizobia with legumes stands out as crucial for both economic and environmental reasons. In this process, the bacteria colonize the roots of the plants, inducing the formation of plant organs called nodules. Within these structures, rhizobia fix the environmental nitrogen into ammonia reducing the demand for this essential element required for plant growth.
