"#Legumes thrive in low-nitrogen environments by partnering with #rhizobia, #soil #bacteria that convert atmospheric #nitrogen into #ammonium, a usable form for the plants. These beneficial bacteria are housed in root nodules formed on legume roots."

"Some #soil bacteria can acquire sets of genes that enable them to pump the heavy metal #nickel out of their systems. This enables the bacteria to not only thrive in otherwise toxic #soils but help #plants grow there as well."
