What part of a plant serves as a home for nitrogen fixing bacteria?

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.

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 organisms can transform unusable nitrogen?

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.


What is symbiotic nitrogen fixation?

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.


What type of plant that can host the bacteria that can fix nitrogen?

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)


Name a nitrogen fixing bacteria of non leguminious plant?

Cyanobacteria can affix atmospheric nitrogen (N2).


Is nitrogen fixing bacteria present in mustard plant?

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.


What kind of relationships do plant have with nitrogen fixing bacteria?

It allows nitrogen atoms to continually cycle through the biosphere.
