When did nitrogen-fixing bacteria evolve?
Most nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in little houses, or nodules, on the roots of plants called legumes.
What is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
Although the air is made up of about 70% 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 Updated by: Levi Levitt
What type of organism is responsible for performing the majority of nitrogen fixation?
There are two ogranisms that are nitrogen fixers:Free-living (non-symbiotic) bacteria, which live in the soil. This includes the cyanobacteria (or blue-green algae) Anabaena and Nostoc and such genera as Azotobacter, Beijerinckia, and ClostridiumMutualistic (symbiotic) bacteria, which live live in nodules in the roots of plants. This includes Rhizobium,associated with leguminous plants, and Spirillum lipoferum,associated with cereal grasses.Nitrogen fixing bacteria are microorganisms present in the soil or in plant roots that change nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into solid nitrogen compounds that plants can use in the soil.
What does certain bacteria that live on the roots of plants provide for the plant?
I think you are thinking of nitrogen fixing bacteria which are associated with nodules on the roots of plants belonging to the legume family (peas and beans). The bacteria that form and live in these nodules have the ability to take nitrogen form the air and use it to build organic molecules directly. This is important because all life needs a small amount of nitrogen (in organic forms) to build proteins.
Bacteria that are poisoned by oxygen?
some nitrogen fixing bacteria are poisoned by oxygen. also some bacteria that live near glacial ice are affected .they have developed protective enzymes as when ultraviolet rays hit glacial ice ,oxygen has been discovered as being released in molecular form.
Nitrogen fixing bacteria live symbiotically in?
the roots of beans and peanuts
Where in the roots of the legumes does Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live?
The nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in the root nodules of legumes.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in these structures found in the roots of legumes?
what is nitrogen fixing bacteria live in these structures found in the roots of legumes
Bacteria in soil change this to a form that can used by plants is what?
Nitrogen gas (N2) is converted by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live in the root nodules of Legumes into NH3.
What processes in the nitrogen are complete by bacteria?
It is nitrogen fixation, which occurs by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live in the root nodules of legumes and in the soil..
What processes in the nitrogen cycle are completed by bacteria?
It is nitrogen fixation, which occurs by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live in the root nodules of legumes and in the soil..
Is the most nitrogen fixation performed by plants?
It is performed by nitrogen fixing bacteria that live on the roots of plants.
What do nitrogen fixing bacteria convert in the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria are anaerobic bacteria present in the soil or in some plant roots that change nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into solid nitrogen compounds (e.g. ammonium salts) that plants can use in the soil.Nitrogen fixing bacteria that are symbiotic with plants use sugars supplied by the plant they live in to provide the metabolic energy to carry out this process.

What puts nitrogen in soil?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria that live in root nodules of members of the legume family of plants. Some Nitrogen is also fixed during lightning strikes.
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.
