Want this question answered?
nitrogen fixation takes place with the help of lightning , bacteria called rhizobium lives in the nodules of legumenous plants convert nitrogen into nitrogeous compounds , algae etc. also helps in nitrogen fixation
I am so thankful that I am a soybean farmer; their symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium species allows my crop to be grown with less nitrogen fertilizer input since these bacteria carry out nitrogen fixation.
Nitrogen-Fixing bacteria. aka Rhizobium
Because leguminous plants are those plants which have nitrogen fixing bacteria in their roots in the modules of nitrogen. thus to fix the nitrogen to the soil or in crops is the work of those bacteria namely rhizobium and azotobacter thus without these plants we wont have these bacterias and alos the nitrogen
1. Bacteria that nitrifies ammonium compounds in the soil (called "nitrifying bacteria"). Example: Nitrosomonas. 2. Bacteria that nitrifies nitrites (NO2-) in the soil (also called "nitrifying bacteria"). Example: Nitrobacter. 3. Bacteria that denitrifies nitrates (NO3-) in the soil (called "denitrifying bacteria"). Example: Pseudomonas denitrificans. 4. Bacteria that "fixes" nitrogen (called "nitrogen-fixing bacteria"). Examples: Rhizobium (which is symbiotic) and Azotobacter (which is free-living). 5. You also have bacteria that putrefies nitrogenous waste (like urea) and the protein in dead organisms. This type of bacteria is called putrefying bacteria.
rhizobium helps in nitrogen cycle
Nitrosomonas convert ammonium compounds into nitrites. Nitrobacter converts these nitrites to nitrates. Both form a part of Nitrogen Cycle.
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.

Nitrogen fixation occurs in1 free living bacteria and archaea e.g. Azotobacter, Klebsiella, Clostridium, and Methanococcus,2 bacteria living in symbiotic association with plants such as legumes e.g. Rhizobium3 cyanobacteria e.g. Nostoc, Anabaena, and Trichodesmia.

it is in the nitrogen cycle
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle through assimilation.
