All the following regarding bacteroid form of Rhizobium are true except:
1. It is a differentiated symbiotic form of nitrogen fixing Rhizobium
2. It is non-motile and non-reproductive
3. It has a more freely permeable membrane than free living Rhizobium
4. It is larger in size than the free living Rhizobium and spherical in shape
Rhizobium:
1. | lives as aerobe under free-living conditions with an operational nitrogenase that does not fix nitrogen |
2. | lives as anaerobe under free-living conditions with a non operational nitrogenase |
3. | lives as aerobe during nitrogen-fixing conditions with an operational nitrogenase |
4. | lives as anaerobe during nitrogen-fixing conditions with an operational nitrogenase |
