To maximize the benefits of nitrogen fixation by legumes, we need to consider their long-term benefits and how best to ...
A new research initiative led by associate professor of bacteriology Betül Kaçar is positioned to transform agriculture and address some of the world’s most pressing ecological and economic challenges ...
Nitrogen is vital for all known life. Yet most nitrogen on Earth is in the atmosphere as di-nitrogen gas, which many organisms can’t use. Fortunately, there are microbes that can tap into this ...
Nitrogen is a critical limiting element for plant growth and production. It is a major component of chlorophyll, the most important pigment needed for photosynthesis, as well as amino acids, the key ...
Most major crops, such as wheat and corn, require expensive nitrogen fertilizer to flourish. But what if bacteria could help ...
I was taken back a significant period of years by the article in C&EN on nitrogen fixation as a potential answer to the massive overuse of fertilizers (July 31, 2023, page 24). The underlying reasons ...
Marine nitrogen fixation, the conversion of inert dinitrogen gas into bioavailable nitrogen compounds by specialised microorganisms, underpins the productivity of the world’s oceans. Diazotrophic ...

NSW scientists join national push to modernise chickpea nitrogen fixation after four-decade gap
GRDC-backed initiative seeks elite rhizobia strains to boost chickpea productivity, expand cultivation zones, and reduce dependence on synthetic fertilisers Australia is undertaking its most ...
Research into bacteria strains that are both competitive and efficient in nitrogen fixation and developing plants with those characteristics is the goal of NDSU research started in October 2024.
An oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from serious damage, and its use in biotechnology could help to reduce the use of synthetic fertilizer in ...
It has puzzled scientists for years whether and how bacteria, that live from dissolved organic matter in marine waters, can carry out N 2 fixation. It was assumed that the high levels of oxygen ...
