Solution
Nitrogen Fixation Bacteria:
One of the best-known groups of nitrogen-fixing bacteria is rhizobia.
Other groups of bacteria that are also known to aid nitrogen fixation are the Cyanobacteria and Frankia.
Plants, particularly legumes, have symbiotic interactions with some nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Associative connections between diazotrophs and plants, such as nitrogen fixation on rice roots, are generally referred to as looser non-symbiotic partnerships.
