Because of the scarcity of suitable carbon and energy sources for these organisms, their contribution to global nitrogen fixation rates is generally considered minor. However, a recent study in ...

The major transformations of nitrogen are nitrogen fixation, nitrification, denitrification, anammox, and ammonification (Figure 1). The transformation of nitrogen into its many oxidation states ...

Just like today, early life on Earth was therefore dependent on nitrogen fixation by microbes. In other words, on their conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen compounds that living ...

Nitrogen fixation by soybean decreases exponentially as N application rate increases, such that application of 45 lb/ac N can lead to a 40% or greater reduction in N fixation over the maximum ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 61, No. 4 (2016), pp. 1406-1423 (18 pages) Nitrogen (N) transformations and fluxes at the sediment-water interface (SWI) were measured in Missisquoi Bay, Lake ...

bigelowii for essential functions like amino acid and pyrimidine biosynthesis and for nitrogen fixation. “Seeing flavodoxin in there was really surprising,” Coale said. Flavodoxin is a redox protein ...

AsRon Calhoun, Senior Portfolio Manager for Plant Nutrition at Nutrien Ag Solutions, explains with its three modes of action—N-Finity is elevating how Loveland Products can further nutrient use ...

However, we have to start somewhere, and this work demonstrates nitrogen-fixation for corn has potential," said study ...

Plants need nitrogen to grow, but they can’t just grab it from the air like we do with oxygen. If the soil doesn’t have enough, farmers have to add fertilizers—an expensive and environmentally tricky ...

Mannitol is included in the medium as an energy source and an ion of molybdenum that is essential for nitrogen fixation. This metallic ion appears to serve as an essential ion cofactor for the enzyme ...

Azolla is a fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing water fern offering a sustainable, low-cost alternative to chemical fertilisers and expensive livestock feed in India. Learn how to cultivate Azolla for ...

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, the University of Cologne, and the University of Copenhagen have uncovered a hidden talent of the Casparian strip—a root structure ...
