Biological Nitrogen fixation.

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is the term used for a process in which
nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere is incorporated into the tissue of
certain plants. Only a select group of plants is able to obtain N this way,
with the help of soil microorganisms. Among forage plants, the group
of plants known as legumes (plants in the botanical family Fabaceae)
are well known for being able to obtain N from air N2.

Importance ☆

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, microorganisms capable of transforming

atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen (inorganic compounds
usable by plants). More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is
effected by these organisms, which thus play an important role in
the nitrogen cycle.

Nitrogen fixing bacterias

●Rhizobium

●Azotobacter

●Cyanobacteria
●Beijerinckia

●Nostoc

●Rhizobiaceae

●Anabaena

●Azospirillum brasilense

●Frankia

●Hyphomicrobiales

● Ensifer meliloti
 Pseudomonas

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms that are capable

of transforming nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into “fixed nitrogen”
compounds, such as ammonia, that are usable by plants.

Are wheat rhizosphere BNF and available soil P related?

In this study, only a pair of P solubilizing bacterium and diazotrophic bacterium was studied, and
because the soil used in the greenhouse study was not sterile, the soil nitrogenase activity
observed in this study was partially But this can be due to diazotrophic bacteria indigenous to the
soil. This increase in nitrogenase activity is comparable to effects observed under other settings.
P application doubled soil microbial N and soil N fixation rates in clover-dominated sward and
restored prairie, respectively.
