Nodules

Certain bacteria and archaea have the ability to transform unusable nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere into a form that plants can use, a process known as nitrogen fixation. Some examples include symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium that form nodules on plant roots, as well as free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Azotobacter and cyanobacteria.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria play a crucial role in the process of nitrogen fixation by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use for growth. This helps in maintaining the nitrogen cycle and ensuring the availability of essential nutrients for plant growth.
No, the clove plant is not a nitrogen fixer. Nitrogen-fixing plants have specialized root nodules containing bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by the plant. Clove plants do not have this ability.
The genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria commonly associated with leguminous plants is Rhizobium. These bacteria form a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots, where they convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that the plants can use for growth and development.
nodules
The part of a plant that serves as a home for nitrogen-fixing bacteria is the root nodules. These specialized structures form primarily on the roots of leguminous plants, such as peas and beans, where symbiotic bacteria like Rhizobium reside. The bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that the plant can use for growth, while the plant provides carbohydrates and a protective environment for the bacteria.

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.

Nitrogen fixation occurs in leguminous plant that have nitrogen fixing bacteria in the root nodule. The plants utilize the nitrogen from the nitrogen fixing bacteria. The bacteria utilize plant sugars formed via photosynthesis.
many types of pea crop.. The roots of these plants house nitrogen fixing bacteria :) i think a type of potato plant does has them as well Pea, gram and ground nut (pea nut)
Cyanobacteria can affix atmospheric nitrogen (N2).
Yes, nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium are often present in the root nodules of leguminous plants like peas and beans, but not typically in mustard plants. Mustard plants do not have the same symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria as legumes do.
It allows nitrogen atoms to continually cycle through the biosphere.
