Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rhizobium is a type of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that lives in the root nodules of legumes. By fixing atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms for the plants, they reduce the need for nitrogen fertilizer. Mycoplasma, Methylococcus, Haemophilus, and "Legobacteria" are not known to have this same nitrogen-fixing ability.
