Nitrogen fixation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nitrogen fixation usually refers to the biological process by which nitrogen (N 2 ) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia. This process is essential for life because fixed nitrogen is require...

Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation ... Symbiotic nitrogen fixation occurs in plants that harbor nitrogen-fixing bacteria within their tissues. The best-studied example is the association between legumes and bacteria in the genus Rhizobium.

Nitrogen fixation is one process by which molecular nitrogen is reduced to form ammonia. This complex process is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria present in the soil. Although nitrogen-fixation involves a number of oxidation-reduction reactions that occur sequentially, that reaction which describes its reduction...

Biological Nitrogen Fixation; Approximately 80 percent of the atmosphere is nitrogen gas (N2). Unfortunately, N2 is unusable by most living organisms. Plants, animals and microorganisms can die of nitrogen defi-ciency, surrounded by N2 they cannot use.

The Microbial World: The Nitrogen cycle and Nitrogen fixation ... some bacteria can convert N2 into ammonia by the process termed nitrogen fixation; these bacteria are either free-living or form symbiotic associations with plants or other organisms (e.g. termites, protozoa)

Nitrogen fixation is limited to prokaryotes. Some eubacteria and a few archebacteria can fix nitrogen - but no eukaryotic cells can do this. Some N-fixing bacteria are free-living whereas other form symbiotic associations with plants.
