Nitrogen Fixing Microorganism Peer Reviewed Journals

 Nitrogen fixation is a procedure whereby nitrogen (N2) is converted into ammonia ( NH3) in the atmosphere. Atmospheric nitrogen or molecular nitrogen (N2) is relatively inert: forging new compounds, it does not respond effortlessly with other chemicals. The process of fixation frees the atoms of nitrogen from their diatomic form (N2), which will be used in various ways. Natural and synthetic nitrogen fixation is crucial for all life forms as nitrogen is needed to biosynthesize fundamental building blocks of plants , animals, and other life structures, e.g. DNA and RNA nucleotides, and protein amino acids. Nitrogen fixation is therefore important for the farming and fertilizer manufacture. In addition, it is an essential manufacturing process. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and micro-organisms are capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen into fixed, plant-usable inorganic nitrogen compounds. They affect over 90 per cent of all nitrogen fixation. As of now two nitrogen microorganism are Rhizobium and Cyanobacteria.
