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 do nitrogen fixing bacteria use to split molecules of nitrogen gas and combine the nitrogen atoms with hydrogen?
Nitrogenase enzyme is used by nitrogen fixing bacteria to split molecules of nitrogen gas and combine the nitrogen atoms with hydrogen.Nitrogenase is the enzyme used by some organisms to fix atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2). It is the only known family of enzymes which accomplishes this process
Process in which bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas and releases it in to the atmosphere?
Converting nitrogen from a gas to a usable form by bacteria? It is either archaebacteria or eubacteria. I'm stuck on this exact question. My guess is archaebacteria since it is the most ancient bacteria. All forms of life use nitrogen and the beginning of life goes way back AARON T that's me
Nitrogen is the most common element in the air. Why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Several bacteria can fix the nitrogen fom atmosphere.
What organism is responsible for changing nitrogen gas into nitrogen into solid nitrogen compounds?
Chemoautotrophs like Nitrogen fixing bacteria
What is the process of creating nitrogen gas from nitrogen compound?
nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Which gas makes up most of the atmosphere but cannot be used until bacteria fix it?
nitrogen

Can we use pure nitrogen gas as a nutrient?
No, not directly. There are bacteria that can fix Nitrogen out of the air and make it available as a nutrient but Nitrogen has to be in a compound form for it to be useful to most of the living things on Earth.
What two functions of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle?
Bacteria function in the nitrogen cycle as nitrogen fixers and denitrifiers. Nitrogen fixing bacteria take in atrmospheric nitrogen gas and "fix" it into a nitrate or nitrite that can be used by plants. Denitrifiers decompose dead plant tissues and release nitrogen to the atmosphere.
What organism fix nitrogen in soil?
Bacteria
Which organism fix nitrogen in the soil?
bacteria rhizobium fixes atmospheric nitrogen into air which plants can breathe.
How is bacteria convert nitrogen gas in the air into ammonia?
Rhizobium Bacillus is the bacteria that converts nitrogen gas in the air into ammonia. It plays an important role the nitrogen cycle by fixing nitrogen which is otherwise an inert gas.
Why Nitrogen is the most common element in the air .why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Several bacteria can fix the nitrogen fom atmosphere.

What do you call the conversion of nitrogen gas into nitrogen compounds by bacteria?
Nitrogen fixation.
