How can you use “rhizobia” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Interestingly, models of bacterial evolution suggest HGT as a mechanism of adaptation into either symbiosis or parasitism [ 32 ] . This is specifically thought to be the case for divergent species of rhizobia, such as the symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti and the pathogen Rhizobium radiobacter (formerly known as Agrobacterium tumefaciens ), where differential selection and gene maintenance is likely to be responsible for different lifestyle strategies [ 33 ] .
Rhizobia.txt
This protein encodes an N -acetyltransferase previously thought to be present only in rhizobia [ 37 ] , where it functions in the biosynthesis of Nod factor.
Meloidogyne and rhizobia are sympatric (that is, they share an ecological niche in the soil [ 3 ] , and arguably in the plant too [ 31 ] ), satisfying the minimal requirement for an HGT to occur, namely physical proximity.
Rhizobia have the ability to transfer genes horizontally to other bacteria, and M. loti carries a 'symbiosis island' which spans approximately 9% of its genome and has been shown to have a role in rhizobial evolution via HGT [ 46 ] . This symbiosis island contains certain genes involved in nodulation and nitrogen-fixation functions, but none of these is a homolog of the nematode HGT candidates we have identified.
