I believe not because they are living things and need oxygen instead or they only need something to live in to reproduce and live.

Can most orgnisims get nitrogen gas from the air?

animals dont really need nitrogen but for plants, they need nitrogen and they get nitrogen usually in the form of nitrates or bacteria protein, by the work of nitrifying bacteria, putrefying bacteria and nitrogen fixing bacteria


Why don't bacteria need nitrogen?

Bacteria are extremely simple organisms. Most bacteria are a single cell, and are supported perfectly by sunlight alone. Some kinds of bacteria can live deep underwater, or encased in thousands of tons of rock. Some can even live in space. Overall bacteria do not need oxygen/nitrogen for any reason, because there body's do not need it to function, they are just to small and simple.


Does bacteria have a direct role in the nitrogen cycle?

Yes, bacteria play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle. They are involved in processes such as nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification, which are essential for converting nitrogen into forms that plants can use and then back into atmospheric nitrogen.


Term for any bacteria that converts nitrogen into nitrogen compounds?

They are called nitryfying bacteria. Examples are Rhizobium, Anabena etc


Which eubacteria help plants in the production of proteins nitrogen-fixing bacteria endospores bacillia halophiles?

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria


How do plants get the nitrogen they need to grow?

Plants obtain nitrogen mainly from the soil in the form of nitrates or ammonium ions. During the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for plants. Some plants also have symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules to help them absorb nitrogen.


What organism is responsible for changing nitrogen gas into nitrogen into solid nitrogen compounds?

Chemoautotrophs like Nitrogen fixing bacteria


What is the bacteria that turns nitrogen to ammonia?

The bacteria that converts nitrogen gas into ammonia is known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Some examples of nitrogen-fixing bacteria include Rhizobium, Azotobacter, and Clostridium. These bacteria play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle by making nitrogen available to plants.


What is the relationship between bacteria and plants?

Plants need nitrogen to grow. They are surrounded by nitrogen in the air, but it is not in a form the plants can use. Nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots of the plant convert (fix) the airborne nitrogen to a form the plants can use to grow.


What is symbiotic nitrogen fixation?

Nitrogen fixation occurs in leguminous plant that have nitrogen fixing bacteria in the root nodule. The plants utilize the nitrogen from the nitrogen fixing bacteria. The bacteria utilize plant sugars formed via photosynthesis.


Which type of bacteria return nitrogen to air?

nitrites


Why don't legumes need nitrogen containing fertilizers comment?

They have bacteria growing in their roots that take nitrogen from the air and supply it to the legumes.
