The marine nitrogen cycle is crucial to sustaining ocean productivity, with biological nitrogen fixation representing a primary mechanism by which inert atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ...

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 ...

The regulation of the biological fixation of nitrogen in hydric stress conditions varies with the different species of legume plants studied. Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the terrestrial ...

An important component in the process of nitrogen fixation in plants has been discovered by researchers. They have identified a key protein that facilitates the movement of calcium in plant cells.

Nitrogen is vital for all known life. Yet most nitrogen on Earth is in the atmosphere as di-nitrogen gas, which many organisms can’t use. Fortunately, there are microbes that can tap into this ...

Of all Earth's elemental cycles, nitrogen may be the most complex and costly. After all, it takes a lot of energy to turn the gaseous coupled nitrogen atoms that make up nearly 80 percent of our ...

Using a mathematical model, an international team of researchers has been able to show that heterotrophic bacteria inside sinking particles can fix nitrogen in nearly every part of the global ocean.
