Some bacteria have the ability to "fix" nitrogen,
that is they can utilize gaseous (atmospheric) nitrogen to produce organic compounds.
(They can all break down compounds to free nitrogen too.)

What is the role that nitrogen plays as essential to the production of proteins?
the role of bacteria in nitrogen fixation
What is the role prokaryotes play in nitrogen recycling?
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.
What role do carbon dioxide play in the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle?

What is the role of combustion in the carbon cycle?
Combustion is organic materials reaction to burning in the presence of oxygen. It is the process of conversion to the carbon cycle.
What organisms play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Producers (incorporate it into organic) and bacteria play a major role in the nitrogen cycle.
Why Nitrogen is the most common element in the air .why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Several bacteria can fix the nitrogen fom atmosphere.
Nitrogen is the most common element in the air. Why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Several bacteria can fix the nitrogen fom atmosphere.
Which organisms are most critical in the nitrogen cycle?
Bacteria is the organism most critical in the nitrogen cycle. Bacteria in the nitrogen cycle provides different forms of nitrogen compounds used by higher organisms.
What cycle does the atmosphere not play a role in?
In nitrogen cycle
What role does decay play in the nitrogen cycle?
The decomposers , bacteria, and fungi, break down waste and dead organisms returning nitrogen they contain back into the soil.
Bacteria return nitrogen to the soil by which process?
The role of bacteria in the Nitrogen Cycle is to perform biological nitrogen fixation. This process is an important part of the Nitrogen Cycle because it converts oxygen into ammonia that plants are then able to use.
What is a plant's role in the nitrogen cycle?
Plants consume nitrogen in the form of Nitrates. Nitrogen gets converted into nitrates by the denitrifying bacteria. These plants absorb nitrogen in the form of nitrates through the groundwater.
What role do producers play in nitrogen cycle?

Dose bacteria play a particularly important role in the water cycle?
The nitrogen cycle - /> cycling nutrients, causing diseases, flavoring foods, producing medicines As far as I know, they play an important role in the carbon cycle. When a living thing dies, bacteria attack the body thus releasing all the elements such as carbon back into the atmosphere.
