What are three nitrogen containing nutrients in the biosphere?

How many single or lone pair of electrons nitrogen have?

What is a example of a bacterium?
An example of nitrogen-fixation bacterium is Rhizobia.
What does nitrogen-containing base mean?
nitrogen-containing
What is an example of a nitrogen-fixation bacterium?
Nitrification can occur in drinking water. In water distribution systems where chloramines are used as the secondary disinfectant, the presence of free ammonia can sometimes act as a substrate for ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms. The subsequent reactions can lead to the depletion of the disinfectant residual in the system.
Which bacterium causes nitrogen fixation?
rhizobium
What is the decomposition of nitrogen containing molecules into ammonia?
Ammonification is the decomposition of nitrogen containing molecules into ammonia.
What is the purpose of soda lime in the detection of nitrogen in nitrogen containing compounds?
It is used to liberate or emancipate ammonia from Nitrogen-containing compounds
Why don't legumes need nitrogen-containing fertillizers?
Legumes "fix" nitrogen in nodules on their roots, so they do not need additional nitrogen-containing fertilizers.
