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 modified bacteria increase nitrogen availability by enhancing the activity of a key gene involved in nitrogen fixation. When applied during planting, the bacteria colonize plant roots and ...

but only a few taxa of bacteria have evolved the capacity to convert atmospheric dinitrogen gas, N 2, into assimilable forms of nitrogen, a process known as biological nitrogen fixation.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

This is when bacteria in the soil convert the nitrate back into nitrogen gas which then gets released back into the atmosphere.

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 ...

A new study appearing Nov. 16 in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution has concluded that the cycad species that survived relied on symbiotic bacteria in their roots, which provide them with nitrogen ...
