Bacteria release nitrogen gas in many different ways, maybe as a waste or what they produce, like plants make oxygen and food. It might be hard to believe that microscopic Monerae make over 80% of the air you breath, but we must remember the amount of these bountiful organisms. They are the most common, successful, and oldest living life form species on Earth. They were the first to live, and have existed for 3.5 billion years. Compare THAT to our measly 192,000 years!
