Nitrogen fixation is a process in which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonium (NH4+) or nitrogen dioxide (NO
2), for example. Atmospheric nitrogen or molecular nitrogen (N2) is relatively inert: it does not easily react with other chemicals to form new compounds. The fixation process frees up the nitrogen atoms from their triply bonded diatomic form, N≡N, to be used in other ways.
Nitrogen fixation, natural and synthetic, is essential for all forms of life because nitrogen is required to biosynthesize basic building blocks of plants, animals and other life forms, e.g., nucleotides for DNA and RNA and amino acids for proteins. Therefore, as part of the nitrogen cycle, it is essential for agriculture and the manufacture of fertilizer. It is also an important process in the manufacture of explosives (e.g. gunpowder, dynamite, TNT, etc.). Nitrogen fixation occurs naturally in the soil with the help of some types of bacteria and plants (for example, Azotobacter and legumes). It also occurs naturally in the air by means of lightning.

visit http://www.makemegenius.com for Free Science videos for kids. Do you know that Plants cannot absorb nitrogen directly from the atmosphere.This nitrogen needs to be fixed first so that it can be used by plants and animals.In this short video, we learn that certain types of bacteria help to convert atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms such as nitrates and nitrites.These nitrogen fixing bacteria are commonly found in the roots of plants of pulses(legumes). These usable forms of nitrogen are absorbed by plants to produce amino acids, which in turn form proteins. When an animal eats these plants, nitrogen enters its body through the proteins present in plants.When plants and animals die, they start decomposing after some time. During this process, proteins containing nitrogen are conve...
You will learn about "Nitrogen Cycle" in this video. Nitrogen constitutes around 78% of the air. However, atmospheric nitrogen cannot be used directly by plants and animals. Nitrogen needs to be converted to nitrogenous compounds in order to be used by plants. This process of converting nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds is called nitrogen fixation. It takes place by a certain kind of bacteria called rhizobium bacteria which live in the root nodules of leguminous plants. They convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia. Nitrifying bacteria then convert ammonia to nitrites and then nitrates. Some nitrogen fixation also occurs by lightning strikes. The plants then take these nitrates from the soil. Plants use these nitrates for the synthesis of plant proteins and other compounds. Animals then...

Welcome to Moof University! My name is Mahfoud, and I recently graduated from UC Riverside. I've made these videos to help students with introductory biochemistry. The videos are loosely structured around what I learned from the elementary biochemistry course I took on campus (BCH 100) at UC Riverside. I hope, however, that any and all individuals who want to learn basic biochemistry find these videos helpful. In addition, if you are a student at UC Riverside taking BCH 100 (or a student at a school near UC Riverside), and you find these videos helpful, but still want more help, please feel free to email me at MoofUniversity@gmail.com if you are interested in my tutoring services.

Read your free e-book: http://hotaudiobook.com/mebk/50/en/B014T24ZCS/book Nitrogen is arguably the most important nutrient required by plants. However, the availability of nitrogen is limited in many soils and although the earth's atmosphere consists of 78.1% nitrogen gas (n2) plants are unable to use this form of nitrogen. To compensate , modern agriculture has been highly reliant on industrial nitrogen fertilizers to achieve maximum crop productivity. However, a great deal of fossil fuel is required for the production and delivery of nitrogen fertilizer. Moreover carbon dioxide (co2) which is released during fossil fuel combustion contributes to the greenhouse effect and run off of nitrate leads to eutrophication of the waterways. Biological nitrogen fixation is an alternative to nitroge...
There is an unfortunate truth about nitrogen fixing plants that many people don't want to face. My aim isn't to be the bearer or bad news, or a negative Nancy, but instead to inform and make sure people are understanding why something does or doesn't work. Legumes do not fix nitrogen to other plants if they are planted close to eachother... I am sorry. They just don't.
Here is a list of small trees that produce food and take nitrogen out of the air and put it in the soil for other plants to use as organic fertilizer. These trees are great for food forest and permaculture gardens. permaculturenews.org/2016/08/05/nitrogen-fixing-species-agroforestry-systems/
Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air, however neither plants nor animals can take nitrogen directly from the air because nitrogen is so unreactive. The nitrogen cycles shows the movement of nitrogen through the environment. Nitrogen is continually cycled through the air, soil and living things. Plants take up nitrogen compounds as nitrates from the soil. Animals then eat these plants, thus getting their nitrogen. The process of nitrogen in the atmosphere being turned into nitrogen in the soils is called fixing. There are different ways that nitrogen is 'fixed; including nitrogen fixing bacteria in the soil which turns nitrogen from the air into nitrates. Decomposers in the soils break down animal excretion and dead organisms, returning nitrogen back to the soil as ammonia. Lightning can ca...

The ability to take up mineral nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, is generally the major limitation to plant growth. Because of this farmers apply nitrogen and phosphorus through fertiliser application to promote crop growth. Sustained yields are dependent on this fertiliser application, but it comes at a high price, both in the cost of the fertiliser and the environmental damage that results from its use. A number of plant species have evolved beneficial interactions with micro-organisms that facilitate the uptake of these nutrients. Legumes form symbiotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi that facilitate phosphate uptake and with rhizobial bacteria that provide the plant with a source of nitrogen. The establishment of these symbioses involves a molecular communication bet...
Nitrogen is essential for many aspects of plant growth, including the biosynthesis of proteins, chlorophyll and nucleic acids. Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen gas, but only members of one family of plants, the legumes, can form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to harness this vast resource. Andy Breakspear tells us how these relationships can be engineered into other species, such as cereals, to boost crop yield and reduce the need for fertiliser application.
http://ibioseminar.hhmi.org/lectures/bio-mechanisms/sharon-long.html Legume plants form specialized root nodules to host "rhizobia", nitrogen-fixing bacterial symbionts. Rhizobia hosting legumes are able to grow without exogenous nitrogen fertilizer allowing them to be high in protein and to provide nutrition to surrounding plants. In part 1 of her talk, Long gives an overview rhizobium-legume symbiosis including infection and nodule formation and the chemical signals exchanged between the plant and the bacteria. In Part 2. Long goes into more detail on how chemicals released from legumes increase transcription of specific bacterial genes required for plant infection, while in Part 3 she describes how bacterial factors induce production of specific proteins by the plant.
