The legume-rhizobium association is widely used around the world to improve crop production via nitrogen fixation (N2-fixation). Inoculation with suitable strains is required in order to establish effective symbioses in soils. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are of biotechnological inter...
