No. They can not use nitrogen gas because the triple bonds of nitrogen can only be broken down for use in living things, plants, by the symbiotic bacteria in the root nodes. Then in other forms nitrogen is taken up into the plant and from there to other trophic levels.

Why is nitrogen gas is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen cannot form solid minerals on the Earth.
Where do bacteria fix nitrogen gas?
Bacteria fix nitrogen by taking the nitrogen in the air and turning it into a type of nitrogen that can be used by other organisms. This usually occurs in the form of ammonium.
Is nitrogen the most important gas in greenhouse gases?
No, carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas, not nitrogen.
What is most dominant gas?
These gases are nitrogen, oxygen and argon.
What was the most abundant gas in the seconday atmosphere?
Water vapor was the major gas produced in the secondary (post-formation) atmosphere on Earth. Oxygen was gradually maintained as an abundant gas by the action of biological organisms.
Do most organisms use nitrogen directly form air?
Since the air around you is about 78% nitrogen gas, you might think it would be easy for organisms to retrieve nitrogen easily. However, most organisms cannot use nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas is called "free" nitrogen because it's not combined with other atoms. Most organisms can use nitrogen only when it has been combined with other elements to form nitrogen-containing compounds. So, is that the answer you were looking for (possibly for homework)?
What gas cannot be used directly your most organisms?
Nitrogen
Why is nitrogen gas is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen cannot form solid minerals on the Earth.
Is nitrogen gas?
in its most common form; yes.
Why is nitrogen a limiting nutrient?
This is because the particular form of nitrogen found in air “nitrogen gas“ cannot be assimilated by most organisms. For example, “Nitrogen nutrients are water-soluble and as a result they are easily drained away”, so that they are no longer available for plants.
Where is nitrogen found in its elemental form?
Nitrogen gas is found in the air. It is the most abundant gas there, comprising about 4/5 of the air.
What organisms can change nitrogen gas into ammonia?
These enzymes are called nitrogenases.
Why is it difficult to integrate nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into the nitrogen cycle of the biosphere?
Few organisms can directly utilize atmospheric nitrogen gas.
What kind of organism converts atmospheric nitrogen into a form that other organisms can use?
which of these organisms convert atmospheric nitrogen gas to a form that can be utilized by plants? a. bacteria b. protists c. consumers d. producers e. fungi
Most of the nitrogen found in the atmosphere is found in what form?
N2 gas
Where do bacteria fix nitrogen gas?
Bacteria fix nitrogen by taking the nitrogen in the air and turning it into a type of nitrogen that can be used by other organisms. This usually occurs in the form of ammonium.
What is the name of the process when nitrogen is returned to it's gas form?
The process in which nitrogen returns to it's gas form is known as nitrogen fixation
