Similar microbes, different outcomes. Why do some rhizobial bacteroids fix nitrogen in legumes better than others? Check out the online version of our latest work by @poolelaboxford.bsky.social, an historical lab project showing how this comes down to differentiation 😉 ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/plph...
The higher symbiotic efficiency of pea bacteroids arises from their greater packing density and proteomic bias toward nitrogenase and dicarboxylate metabol
