Default [IBC] Root Nodules

Hallow Everybody

I will be grateful if someone can provide information as to how to differentiate between root nodules made my Nematodes and Nitrogen fixation bacteria. While repotting a Chinese elm and a Ficus benghalensis, I found some nodules in the roots. Some plant growers say these are nests of Nematodes (Eel Worms) while the others say these are Nitrogen fixation bacteria nests. Both the plants are otherwise growing normally.
