Chapter 35.3, Problem 3SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
Association of plants, such as, legumes with bacteria help supply nitrogen to the plants.
Introduction:
The association between bacteria and plants is a two-way process. Legumes get the nitrogen through bacteria. The host plant, in turn, provides organic molecules to the bacteria that is used for their

There are two-main types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria: free-living (nonsymbiotic) and mutualistic (symbiotic). Describe the mutualistic relationship between Rhizobium and legumes. What is the advantage of using legumes as a cover crop in agricultural systems? A point of interest is that the nitrogenase enzyme complex is highly sensitive to oxygen. This is a major problem for free-living aerobic species such as cyanobacteria and species of the genera Azotobacter and Beiigrinckia.

(Many antibiotics are excreted in their active form.) The influx of antibiotics into the environment is a concern because the presence of these compounds in the environment selects for antibiotic resistance. As pollutants, antibiotics can also have ecological effects. Describe some of the ecological roles of bacteria, and explain why disruption of these roles by antibiotic pollution would have a negative impact.arrow_forwardExplain two ways in which archaea metabolize inorganiccompounds in extreme environments.arrow_forward
