Concept explainers

Soil Ecosystem

Soil provides a habitat or living environment for a large number of different species of organisms as well as plants. It provides all the essential nutrients and minerals for plants to grow. All these together form the soil ecosystem.

Question

How is the communication that occurs between a rhizobium and a leguminous plant similar to that occurring between Vibrio species? How does it differ?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Leguminous plants and Rhizobium both live in symbiotic relationships with each other. In this association, both the organisms benefit each other. The bacteria fix the atmospheric nitrogen and provide it to the plants. The Rhizobium in turn receives nutrition from plants in organic acid form.

Which of the following explains why pea plants in high soil nitrogen conditions have so few rhizobial nodules on their roots? When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having rhizobial nodules. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia to keep the nitrogen for itself. When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.
