Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Nitrogen is everywhere But somehow, nitrogen has to get from the atmosphere into a form that our body can use.I also think that nitrogen in soil can be used by plants not animals
Nitrogen is needed by plants and they get it from the soil in compounds that contain the nitrogen.
Nitrogen must be in the compound form before it is used by plants or animals
It is very close to it, being about 78.09%.

Nitrogen fixing bacteria will enable some plants to convert atmospheric oxygen to a form that can be used by plants. The plants are then eaten by animals.
Fixation
Nitrogen fixing bacteria turns into what is called AmmoniaAnd the ammonia is therefore turned into a form of nitrogen that can be used by plants.
Plants cannot make protein from pure carbohydrate, because proteins contain nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. They get the nitrogen which they need from the nitrates in the soil.the bacteria called `Rhizobium `lives in the roots of legminous plants and leg. plants need nitrogen to grow pulses.The bacteria called `rhizobium` changes the atmospheric nitrogen in solution form and in return the plants give the bacteria shelter and food thus this is called a symbiotic relationship .
Rhizoobium or nitrogen fixing bacteria lives in the roots of leguminous plants.leguminous plants are not able to use atmospheric nitrogen as sush,so these bacteria convert nitrogen into simpler forms i.e nitrates and nitrits which are easily used up by these plants.
