Green Sea Turtle
The green sea turtle is one of the largest sea turtles. They are named for the green color of their cartilage and fat, not their shells.
Rhizobium multihospitium is a nitrogen-fixing alphaproteobacterium in the family Rhizobiaceae with an unusually broad host range, capable of nodulating multiple legume species. Its name refers to its ability to form symbioses with many host plants. It has been isolated from root nodules in China and contributes to biological nitrogen fixation in diverse agricultural and natural legume ecosystems.
