Hope his helps!
Dr. Nitrogen :)
What else can I help you with?
Other than bacteria which factor leads to nitrogen fixation?
Other than bacteria, certain plants known as legumes (e.g. soybeans, clover) have a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria that carry out nitrogen fixation in their root nodules. This allows these plants to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that can be used by other organisms.
Which parts of the natural environment carry out nitrogen fixation?
Legumes; possess nodules located within their roots that are packed with Nitrogen-Fixing bacteria. So the Answer is: leguminous [root-bound] nodules.
How To Use Nitrogen Fixation In A Sentence?
I am so thankful that I am a soybean farmer; their symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium species allows my crop to be grown with less nitrogen fertilizer input since these bacteria carry out nitrogen fixation.
What is the process by which bacteria remove nitrogen from the air and make it available for plants?
Bacteria performs nitrogen fixation, which involves converting the atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into usable organic nitrates (NO3-). Said bacteria are often referred to as nitrogen fixating bacteria. The process is sometimes called nitrification.Scientists have been able to give plants genes from bacteria to help them do a beeter job. This process is called recombinant DNA technology. Nitrogen fixing bacteria are in root nodules on legumes and maybe some other plant groups.Converts nitrogen in the air to nitrates.
What process converts nitrogen compounds into ammonia?
The process that converts nitrogen compounds into ammonia is called nitrogen fixation. Microorganisms such as certain bacteria and archaea, as well as lightning and industrial processes, can carry out nitrogen fixation.
Producing genetically-engineered major crops to carry out nitrogen fixation has been hampered because?
the bacteria do not function properly when they are introduced into the plants.

What is nitrogen fixation and why are bacteria crucial to this cycle of life?
The air is about 80% nitrogen- but cannot be used by plants for food. Nitrogen fixing bacteria transform nitrogen in the air to nitrogen in the soil that plants CAN use- resulting in greatly improved plant growth, and more fertile soil.
Bacteria are the only organisms that can?
Bacteria are the only organisms that can convert nitrogen into a usable form. Diazotroph or nitrogen-fixing bacteria are types of bacteria that perform this ability.
What do nitrogen fixing bacteria convert in the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria are anaerobic bacteria present in the soil or in some plant roots that change nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into solid nitrogen compounds (e.g. ammonium salts) that plants can use in the soil.Nitrogen fixing bacteria that are symbiotic with plants use sugars supplied by the plant they live in to provide the metabolic energy to carry out this process.
Which bacteria decompose nitrates in the soil into free nitrogen?
Denitrifying bacteria, such as Pseudomonas and Paracoccus species, carry out the process of denitrification, converting nitrates in the soil into free nitrogen gas. This process helps to return nitrogen gas back to the atmosphere, completing the nitrogen cycle.
Why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Some bacteria have the ability to "fix" nitrogen, that is they can utilize gaseous (atmospheric) nitrogen to produce organic compounds. (They can all break down compounds to free nitrogen too.)
