Bacteroid Development in Legume Nodules: Evolution of Mutual Benefit or of Sacrificial Victims?
Symbiosomes are organelle-like structures in the cytoplasm of legume nodule cells which are composed of the special, nitrogen-fixing forms of rhizobia called bacteroids, the peribacteroid space and the enveloping peribacteroid membrane of plant origin. The formation of these symbiosomes requires a c...
