  abstract = {{N}itrogen is generally considered one of the major limiting nutrients in plant growth. {T}he biological process responsible for reduction of molecular nitrogen into ammonia is referred to as nitrogen fixation. {A} wide diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacterial species belonging to most phyla of the {B}acteria domain have the capacity to colonize the rhizosphere and to interact with plants. {L}eguminous and actinorhizal plants can obtain their nitrogen by association with rhizobia or {F}rankia via differentiation on their respective host plants of a specialized organ, the root nodule. {O}ther symbiotic associations involve heterocystous cyanobacteria, while increasing numbers of nitrogen-fixing species have been identified as colonizing the root surface and, in some cases, the root interior of a variety of cereal crops and pasture grasses. {B}asic and advanced aspects of these associations are covered in this review.},
