Variation in symbiont fitness during co-inoculations did not measurably affect plant performance, suggesting that predicted conflict over the joint phenotype of rhizobia fitness has negligible effect on the host.

We studied associations between Acmispon strigosus, an annual legume native to California, and its nitrogen-fixing symbionts in the genus Bradyrhizobium.

To maintain microbial mutualisms, hosts must reward beneficial microbes and punish cheaters. We show that sanctions of uncooperative rhizobia β are maintained irrespective of host or symbiont genotype
