Because of the scarcity of suitable carbon and energy sources for these organisms, their contribution to global nitrogen fixation rates is generally considered minor. However, a recent study in ...
The uneven distribution of biological nitrogen fixation in terrestrial ecosystems has yet to be explained. Latitudinal gradients in temperature and phosphorus may hold the answer. Like the ancient ...
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. One of ...
Citation: Protein that protects biological nitrogen fixation from oxidative stress could reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers (2025, January 15) retrieved 1 February 2025 from https://phys.org ...
Coale’s proteomic studies revealed that UCYN-A acquired its proteins from B. bigelowii for essential functions like amino acid and pyrimidine biosynthesis and for nitrogen fixation. “Seeing flavodoxin ...
This can be achieved through the use of grain legumes, which enhance soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation, and the application of chemical fertilizers. Whether grown as pulses for grain ...
The primary feedstock for modern nitrogen fixation is natural gas. The processing of the gas into ammonia releases these emissions. The chemical process emissions are only part of the story ...
