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

∙ 11y agonitrogen fixing is a process in which atmosphere nitrogen converted into ammonia.

∙ 12y agothe bacteria that fix nitrogen , means convert to soluble form, that can be used by plants .example nitrovibrios,nitrococcus, nitrosomonas.
