Nitrogen Bacteria Ammonia Amino Acids Plant Fixation Gas

Front Nitrogen fixation
Back Nitrogen gas converted into nitrogen containing compounds
free living nitrogen fixing bacteria reduce gaseous nitrogen to ammonia which is then used to manufacture amino acids
mutualistic is bacteria live in root nodules of leguminous plants and obtain carbohydrates from the plant and the plant acquires amino acids from bacteria
the ammonia goes onto form ammonium ions
