Anabaena and Nostoc are examples of:

  1. Bacteria-only nitrogen fixers
  2. Free-living protozoa decomposers
  3. Cyanobacterial biofertilisers
  4. Fungal mycorrhizal partners
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Cyanobacterial biofertilisers

Anabaena, Nostoc are CYANOBACTERIA (blue-green algae) that fix atmospheric nitrogen in paddy fields. They photosynthesise and enrich soil with bioavailable nitrogen.
