Gene-edited soil bacteria can supply corn with up to 35 pounds of nitrogen per acre from the atmosphere during early growth, potentially reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

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.

The researchers applied the products at planting during three field seasons using standard agronomic practices for corn, including nitrogen fertilizer at 0, 40, 80, 120, or 200 pounds per acre ...

The biological route to fixing nitrogen is done by diazotrophs, nitrogen-fixing bacteria that contain an enzyme called nitrogenase. In contrast to the Haber-Bosch process, nitrogenase can be ...

Gene-Edited Soil Bacteria Could Provide Third Source of Nitrogen for Corn Production ... to manage ecological risks from the toxin by binding it with biochar. When they mixed ...

The 11th annual Nitrogen Conference will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025, in Mankato. University of Minnesota Extension and the Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center’s Nitrogen Conference ...

Rhizobial symbiosis refers to the mutually beneficial relationship that forms between plants and soil bacteria that fix nitrogen, termed rhizobia. Nuclear calcium oscillations initiate plant ...

A plant-based diet can improve health and prevent disease by feeding the good bacteria in your digestive tract. Trillions of bacteria live in your digestive tract and play an important role in health.

Figure 8. Diagrammatic depiction of combining bacteria with nanomaterials to make ROS-based cancer therapies (PDT CDT SDT) more effective using bacterial targeting properties. The binding of ...

To investigate how the worms benefit from their microbial inhabitants in these frigid climates, Corinaldesi and the team analyzed the genomes of Meiothermus and Anoxybacillus bacteria. They found ...
