Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gram-positive bacteria are a diverse group of bacteria that include both symbionts and pathogenic species. Symbiotic Gram-positive bacteria are commonly found in the root nodules of leguminous plants, where they fix nitrogen for the host plant. Therefore, the statement "Gram-positive bacteria symbionts in legume root nodules" is not a mismatch.
