stem-nodulating rhizobia — Rhizobia (members of the genera Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Azorhizobium) that produce nitrogen fixing structures above the soil surface on plant stems. These most often are observed in tropical plants and produced by Azorhizobium … Dictionary of microbiology
Nitrogen fixation — is the natural process, either biological or abiotic, by which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3).[1] This process is essential for life because fixed nitrogen is required to biosynthesize the basic building blocks of … Wikipedia
Denitrification — Nitrogen cycle. Denitrification is a microbially facilitated process of nitrate reduction that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products. This respiratory process reduces… … Wikipedia
Diazotroph — Diazotrophs are bacteria and archaea that fix atmospheric nitrogen gas into a more usable form such as ammonia.[1] A diazotroph is an organism that is able to grow without external sources of fixed nitrogen. Examples of organisms that do this are … Wikipedia
