What is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are organisms that convert atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) into a form usable by plants, such as ammonia (NH3) or nitrate (NO3-). This process is important for enriching soil with nitrogen, which is essential for plant growth and overall ecosystem productivity. Examples of nitrogen-fixing bacteria include species of Rhizobium, Azotobacter, and cyanobacteria.

Answer 3

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.

It is azotobacter.

Answer 4

Nitrogen fixing bacteria are bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen gas into a form that is more usable by plants. For example, ammonia.

Answer 5

I think it is something really gross! EW!!!!

Answer 6

nitrogen fixing is a process in which atmosphere nitrogen converted into ammonia.

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in the soil on roots of bean plants and extract nitrogen from the air (air is 79% nitrogen) and make it available to plants as fertilizer.

Answer 9

Nitrogen fixation in leaves is seen in
