Herbaspirillum frisingense

Herbaspirillum frisingense is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium which was found in C4-fibre plants like prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata), Chinese silver grass, (Miscanthus sinensis), Amur silver-grass (Miscanthus sacchariflorus), and  Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum).
