Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Type of bacteria that consume nitrogen in the air and change it into a form plants can use
Nitrogen is changed into compounds that plants can use by bacteria.
Break down (or fix) nitrogen so it can be used by the plant. Plants can only use soluble nitrates, and the nitrifying bacteria changes the N2 (nitrogen in the air) into these nitrates (NO3-) that can be absorbed by the plant.
The bacteria makes the nitrogen usable for the plants and makes it able to be used by the plants

some plants have bacteria in their roots which contain nitrogen when plants want nitrogen they exchange their food made them with nitrogen. Example: pea plants contain bacteria called rhizobium which contains nitrogen
Because nitrifying bacteria can fix nitrogen from the air to the plants
Nitrogen- fixing bacteria consume nitrogen in the air and change it into a for that plants can use.
nitrogen fixing bacteria in roots of plants bacteria transforming humus to nitrate nitrogen fixing bacteria in soil lightning.
Nitrogen fixing bacteria along and on the roots of plants converts gaseous nitrogen into a form that plants can absorb.
Bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a nitrogen-containing ion that plants can absorb.
