Rhizobium laguerreae is a nitrogen-fixing alphaproteobacterium in the family Rhizobiaceae, capable of forming symbiotic root nodules on various legume species. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen in exchange for organic carbon from its host plant, contributing to soil fertility and reducing the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. The species was named to honor microbiologist Dr. Laguerre.
