There are two-main types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria: free-living (nonsymbiotic) and mutualistic (symbiotic). Describe the mutualistic relationship between Rhizobium and legumes. What is the advantage of using legumes as a cover crop in agricultural systems? A point of interest is that the nitrogenase enzyme complex is highly sensitive to oxygen. This is a major problem for free-living aerobic species such as cyanobacteria and species of the genera Azotobacter and Beiigrinckia. Describe two ways the bacteria can overcome to levels of oxygen in their cells.arrow_forward

From 2014 to 2018, there were 51 foodborne disease outbreaks reported to the CDC linked to leafy greens, but the actual number of illnesses is likely much higher because more foodborne illnesses are not part of a recognized outbreak. Imagine you are a researcher interested in studying the microbial community on leafy greens from many different commercial sources. →You notice that many of the species identified are capable of forming biofilms. You hypothesize that biofilm formation is also important for causing foodborne illnesses. What features of biofilms would make them important in causing foodborne illness from leafy greens? What structural component(s) of the E. coli cell might play a role in initial biofilm formation on leafy greens?arrow_forwardWhat are the advantages of applying a fungicide to seeds?
