Nitrogen fixation by bacteria occurs in root nodules of nitrogen-fixing trees. This nitrogen fixer, a member of the genus Inga, is growing in a recovering tropical forest in Panama.

The bacteria then begin to fix the nitrogen ... free oxygen in nodule cell cytoplasm would inhibit the levels of nitrogen fixation in the nodule. Leghemoglobin seems to transport enough oxygen ...

The edited versions boost the activity of a key gene involved in nitrogen fixation, making more of it available to plants. When applied at planting, the bacteria colonize plant roots, delivering ...

Soybeans fix nitrogen, everyone knows that, but did you know soil bacteria are key partners in the process? Rhizobia, the soil bacteria in question, form a symbiotic relationship with the soybeans ...

For years, attempts have therefore been made to transfer the natural nitrogen fixation in bacteria and archaea to crops. The enzyme nitrogenase is responsible for the binding of nitrogen.

Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

For years, attempts have therefore been made to transfer the natural nitrogen fixation in bacteria and archaea to crops. The enzyme nitrogenase is responsible for the binding of nitrogen.

Autumn olive engages in a symbiotic relationship with Frankia bacteria in root nodules, the location where nitrogen fixation occurs. Previous research has demonstrated that autumn olive is capable of ...
