Nitrogen fixing bacteria are important for plants as they can convert Nitrogen from the air into Nitrates in the soil which the plant can then use. Legumes have nodules on their roots to provide a suitable habitat for them.

Bacillus megaterium and B. subtilis are bacteria that are useful for plants. Bacteria for plants can be either beneficial for the plant or detrimental to the plant. In this post we’ll talk about beneficial bacteria for plants, specifically beneficial soil bacteria.

Why do organisms need plants algae and bacteria for survival?
The organisms need plants, algae and bacteria for their nourishment. This ensures their survival.
How do plants and microbes interact in mutually beneficial ways?
Some Bacteria fix nitrogen from the air and give it to plants, others degrade complex organic compound into inorganic elements which are taken by the plants; in return plants synthesize organic compounds used by bacteria for energy. Bacteria associated with plants to fix nitrogen and benefited by the plants for space and energy are called symbiotic bacteria.
What converts nitrogen from a form that can be assimilated by plants to N2.?
it is bacteria and lightening or decomposers, not sure. I am doing the same biology homework crap that Ms. elliot signed to all the students over break. i am looking for the same answer i think decomposers is the answer. its the one that makes most sense. :D
How does bacteria benefit humans?
Bacteria are important in the formation of certain foods. They are also used in mining and bioremediation (using bacteria to clean up the environment). In addition, bacteria that colonize different places in your body out compete other bacteria that may be harmful.
In what ways might bacteria contribute to the success of a garden in which pea plants are growing?
in what ways might bacteria contribute to the success of a garden in which pea plants are growing.... answer: 1.the soil and peas provided the bacteria food...2. the garden probably gets watered and there's oxygen and the soil and peas for food... everything bacteria need to survive 3. if those weren't right then i have no clue what it is ** i hope I'm right **(:
Why might it benefit for a pathogen to be small?
There might be a benefit for a pathogen to be small because it helps some plants like beans maintain nitrogen fixation in nodules on their root. It is also beneficial to some animals like cows, which maintain bacteria in their stomachs. The bacteria help in breaking down the hard cell walls of plants.
What are three important benefit soil provides?
1.nutrients 2.plant food 3.energy for plants animals and bacteria
What id biotechnology?
Biotechnology is the practice of using plants, animals and micro-organisms such as bacteria, as well as biological processes - such as the ripening of fruit or the bacteria that break down compost - to some benefit.
Explain How the bacteria benefit the plant and How the plant benefits the bacteria?
Depends on the type of bacteria.some bacteria can cause the plant to rot while some can make the plants have better ability to absorb mineral salts.I'm so sorry but I do not know how the plant benefits the bacteria :)
Where are nitrogen fixing bacteria found and how do these bacteria benefit plants?
Legumes have nitrifying bacteria in their roots, but mostly it is found in the soil. Although the air is made up of about 78% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycle
How can bacteria benefit contaminated soil?
bacteria can benefit conaminated soil because organic matter is formed.
Which plants benefit humans?
Almost all plants benefit humans
How do plants benefit from a rotting log?
you guys are idiots if you dont know what they benefit from a rotin log so you tell me
What benefit is received by bacteria in the nitrogen cycle?
how does theanimals benefit in the cycle
How do soils benefit plants?
Plants can benefit from soil. One reason for this is due to the factor such as decomposion. As there plants live in decompostion this provides healthy nutrients for plants. (nutrient uptake) Therefore plants can benefit from soil.
Are bacteria non green plants?
No. Bacteria are not classified as plants, although some perform photosynthesis like plants.
What came first plants or bacteria?
bacteria
