Describe the role of microbes in nitrogen fixation
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 5 years, 1 month ago

Role of organisms in the nitrogen cycle:

  • Bacteria play a central role:
    • Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which convert atmospheric nitrogen to nitrates.
    • Bacteria of decay, which convert decaying nitrogen waste to ammonia.
    • Nitrifying bacteria, which convert ammonia to nitrates/nitrites.
    • Denitrifying bacteria, which convert nitrates to nitrogen gas.
  • Fungi, like bacteria, help to convert dead plants and animals and their wastes into ammonia in the soil.
  • Plants absorb nitrates from the soil to make proteins.
  • Animals consume plants and use it to form animal protein.
  • Humans contribute to the cycle by adding nitrogen rich fertilisers to the soil and by using manure
