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 ...

MOST of the known reactions of molecular nitrogen take place under drastic conditions, involving high temperatures and pressures or electrical discharges. Only at room temperatures and atmospheric ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 Champlain, to clarify the role of N in ...

Coale’s proteomic studies revealed that UCYN-A acquired its proteins from B. bigelowii for essential functions like amino acid and pyrimidine biosynthesis and for nitrogen fixation. “Seeing flavodoxin ...

Still, we have to start somewhere, and this work shows that nitrogen fixation for corn has potential,” Connor Sible, study co-author and research assistant professor at the University of ...

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 ...

Nitrogen gas (N 2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an extremely high bond dissociation energy (~940.95 kJ mol⁻¹), making ...

A small helper for big tasks: an oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from ...
