Which of these fixes nitrogen while living free in the soil rather than in a nodule?

  • A.Bradyrhizobium
  • B.Frankia
  • C.Azotobacter
  • D.Rhizobium

Answer: C

Azotobacter is a free-living aerobic fixer needing no plant partner, as are Azospirillum and Clostridium. Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium nodulate legumes and Frankia nodulates non-legume trees, so all three of those depend on a host.
