ABSTRACT

Nitrogen is normally considered one of the major limiting nutrients in plant growth Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is a key to the nitrogen nutrition to the legumes. The biological mechanism of converting molecular nitrogen to ammonia is referred to as nitrogen fixation. The bacteria of the genus Rhizobium are the most effective agents for symbiotic nitrogen fixation. They invade the root hairs of leguminous plants and form nodules on the roots, where nitrogen fixation takes place. Rhizobium is a biocontrol agent that inhibits pathogen growth and promotes plant growth by fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere. The secretion of secondary metabolites is responsible for the biocontrol effect. The current review explores characterization and antimicrobial activity of nitrogen fixing bacteria from leguminous plant (fenugreek) Keywords: Leguminosae, Fenugreek, Root nodules, nitrogen fixing, Rhizobium, Antimicrobial activity, Effecting factor
