List several bacteria that are considered rhizobia

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

Bacteria are everywhere. They are designated as prokaryotes and fall under the kingdom Monera in the five-kingdom system. Bacteria, which are typically a few micrometers in length, were one of the first living organisms to emerge on Earth and may be found in practically every habitat.

The nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the leguminous plant's root nodules are called rhizobia—these bacteria aids in fixing nitrogen in leguminous plants like beans and peanuts.
