Rhodospirillum – Mycorrhiza
Anabaena – Nitrogen fixer
Rhizobium – Alfalfa
Frankia – Alnus
To solve this problem, we need to identify the mismatch between the given pairs. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: Rhodospirillum – Mycorrhiza - Rhodospirillum is a genus of purple non-sulfur bacteria, which are photosynthetic and do not form mycorrhizal associations. - Mycorrhiza refers to a symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots. - Therefore, this is a mismatch.Option 2: Anabaena – Nitrogen fixer - Anabaena is a genus of cyanobacteria known for its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. - This is a correct match.Option 3: Rhizobium – Alfalfa - Rhizobium is a genus of bacteria that forms symbiotic relationships with legumes, such as alfalfa, to fix nitrogen. - This is a correct match.Option 4: Frankia – Alnus - Frankia is a genus of actinobacteria that forms symbiotic nitrogen-fixing associations with plants like Alnus (alder). - This is a correct match.Based on the analysis, the mismatch is in Option 1: Rhodospirillum – Mycorrhiza.Therefore, the correct option is Option 1.
