Rhizobium leguminosarum is a bacterium that forms a mutualistic symbiotic relationship with legumes and is capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen. It is a Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped, and aerobic bacterium. This species is commonly used to inoculate legume seeds, with the sv. trifolii strain U204 being commercially utilized for inoculating white and red clover.
Rhizobium is a non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, motile, aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium found in soil. It can colonize the rhizosphere of leguminous plants and form a symbiotic relationship to fix atmospheric nitrogen.
In the 19th century, Beijerinck grouped all nitrogen-fixing microorganisms isolated from legume nodules into a single genus, called Rhizobium. Originally named Bacillus radicicola, Frank in 1889 renamed it Rhizobium leguminosarum.

Rhizobium are a group of Gram-negative soil bacteria that are well known for their symbiotic relationship with various leguminous (soybeans, alfalfa etc).
Rhizobium is a genus of Gram-negative soil bacteria that fix nitrogen. Rhizobium species form an endosymbiotic nitrogen-fixing association with roots of (primarily) legumes and other flowering plants.
The contamination of agricultural soils with heavy metals is resulted from anthropogenic and/or natural sources which lead to adversely affect the environment and in turn human health. Rhizoremediation is a bioremediation form that harnesses the plant-microbes...

Modern and industrialized agriculture enhanced farm output during the last few decades, but it became possible at the cost of agricultural sustainability.
The application of Rhizobium spp., nitrogen-fixing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, as biocontrol agents to enhance systemic disease resistance against plant viral infections is a promising approach towards achieving sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture.
