What form of nitrogen is produced by bacteria - in certain plant root nodules?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
These bacteria, through the plant, receive elemental nitrogen from the air, and use it to produce ammonia (NH3). This process is called nitrogen fixation. The ammonia can then be converted in to oxides of nitrogen and nitrogen salts, such as nitrites and nitrates, which are used by the host plant and others as nutrients.

Which organisms convert nitrogen into a form that is usable by humans?
Bacteria =========================== Specifically a particular type of bacteria that live in nodules on the roots of certain plants (eg the Legume family) called "Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria" . Not other bacteria decompose organic material and release nitrogen back into the atmosphere.
