The nitrogen‐fixing fern Azolla has a complex microbiome characterized by varying degrees of cophylogenetic signal Premise Azolla is a genus of floating ferns that has closely evolved with a vertically transmitted obligate cyanobacterium endosymbiont—Anabaena azollae—that fixes nitrogen. There are also other les...
