SINORHIZOBIUM FREDII
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Sinorhizobium |
| Species: | Sinorhizobium fredii |
| Description: | Sinorhizobium fredii,This organism, much like other Rhizobia, forms a symbiotic relationship with a leguminous plant, such as soybean, cowpea or pigeon pea. The bacterium recognizes plant flavonoid compounds, which turn on nodulation genes. Expression of nodulation genes results in production of a nodulation signal which the plant cell recognizes inducing root nodule formation. The bacterium is endocytosed and remains in a membrane-bound vesicle where it differentiates into a nitrogen-fixing bacteroid. The plant cell provides carbon compounds for the bacterium to grow on.Sinorhizobium fredii is a bacterium.It is a fast-growing root nodule bacteria first isolated from soybeans. The type strain was isolated from a root nodule of Glycine max growing in Hunan Province, China, designated strain USDA 205 (= ATCC 35423 = PRC 205). |
