Which of the following is a nitrogen fixing bacterium?
-
Rhozobium
-
Acetobacter
-
Mycoplasma
-
Chlamydia
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Rhizobium (misspelled as 'Rhozobium' in the option) is a well-known nitrogen-fixing bacterium that forms symbiotic relationships with legume roots. Acetobacter is acetic acid bacteria, Mycoplasma lacks a cell wall and is not a nitrogen fixer, and Chlamydia is an obligate intracellular pathogen - none of these fix nitrogen.
