Abstract
The Rhizobium bacteria is a symbiont, associated with the roots of the leguminous plant and forms root nodule. Plants affords the nutrients which are needed for the metabolism of the bacteria and in turn provides the atmospheric nitrogen needed for the plants. These organisms convert the atmospheric nitrogen into accessible forms and makes this able to utilize by the plants for their development. Nitrogen is one of the essential elements needed for the growth and development for the plants which mainly acts as a building block of the protein which are responsible for the main metabolism in the plant body. The bacteria are isolated and identified on the YEMA media and confirmed by the morphological and most appropriate biochemical tests.
