Original Abstract
The legume-rhizobium symbiosis is a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture due to its ability to facilitate biological nitrogen fixation. Still, real-time visualization and quantification of this interaction remain technically challenging, especially across different host backgrounds. In this study, we systematically evaluate the efficacy of the nitrogenase system The legume-rhizobium symbiosis is central to sustainable agriculture through its capacity for biological nitrogen fixation, yet tools for real-time, quantitative visualization of this interaction remain limited. Here, we demonstrate that the
