Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched?

Options

A. Rhizobium - Parasite in the roots of leguminous plants
B. Mycorrhizae- Mineral uptake from soil
C. Yeast - Production of biogas
D. Azospirillum - Symbiotic `N_(2)`- fixing bacterium

Answer

B

Explanation

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association of a fungus with the roots of a higher plant. Ectomycorrhiza, whichlie on surface of the root, help in direct absorption of minerals from the soil over a large area. Rhizobium is a symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria and Azospirillum is a free living nitrogen fixing bacteria. Methanogenic bacteria help in production of biogas.
