Nitrogen fixation converts gaseous nitrogen into nitrogen-containing compounds, via free-living or mutualistic bacteria in legume root nodules, which convert it to ammonia and then ammonium ions.
Fixarea azotului transformă azotul gazos în compuși cu azot, prin bacterii saprofite libere sau mutualiste din nodulele rădăcinilor leguminoaselor, care îl transformă în amoniac și apoi în ioni de amoniu.

| 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 |
