单词 | rhizobium |
释义 | rhizobiumn. Botany and Microbiology. Any bacterium of the genus Rhizobium (family Rhizobiaceae), comprising aerobic, Gram-negative, typically rod-shaped bacteria which invade the root hairs of leguminous plants and induce the formation of root nodules, in which the bacteria live as symbionts and fix atmospheric nitrogen, making it utilizable by the host plant; (in form Rhizobium) the genus itself. Also (loosely): any bacterium that performs a similar function.

Noble Plants for Sheep in Austral. xi. 103 Considerable attention has been given to the development of techniques for estimating numbers of rhizobia in the soil. 1989 B. Alberts et al. Molecular Biol. Cell (ed. 2) xx. 1158 A Rhizobium that normally nodulates only beans can be converted into one that nodulates only peas. 2005 C. Tudge Secret Life Trees xi. 259 In all of the legumes, the nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the roots are from the genus Rhizobium (though there are many different species of rhizobia).

Linn. Soc. New S. Wales 31 267 Moore found several instances of luxuriant vegetable growth without nodule formation, and upon microscopical examination detected rhizobial forms within the tissues of the root. 1957 Times 2 Dec. (Agric. Suppl.) p. vi/5 Both were inoculated with a peat-bound rhizobial culture and the fortuitous treading of the grazing animal was the only way in which the seeds could be covered. 2004 Science 9 Apr. 235/1 Researchers in several labs have identified these so-called Nod factors from several rhizobial species. rhiˈzobially adv. by means of rhizobia.

Plants xi. 365 Small amounts of 15N, a stable isotope, had been applied to the soil so that the nitrogen available to both species in the soil could be distinguished from the rhizobially fixed nitrogen which was unlabelled. 1999 Current Opinion Plant Biol. 2 483/1 The focus of research on signalling in Rhizobium–legume interactions has moved from understanding the structure and synthesis of rhizobially made Nod factors, towards an analysis of how they function in plants.
