文摘Root nodules of most legumes evolve hydrogen in an ATP-dependent reaction catalyzed by nitrogenase. Since nitrogen fixation by the Rhizobium-legume system is limited by the supply of photosynthate, the hydrogen evolution process of legume root nodules may be regarded as energy waste and inefficiency in the symbiosis.
