Resource acquisition and allocation traits in symbiotic rhizobia with implications for life-history outside of legume hosts
Resources that microbial symbionts obtain from hosts may enhance fitness during free-living stages when resources are comparatively scarce. For rhizobia in legume root nodules, diverting resources from nitrogen fixation to polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) has been discussed as a source of host–symbiont con...
