Marine nitrogen fixation is a crucial process in the ocean's nitrogen cycle, where certain microorganisms, known as diazotrophs, convert atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) into forms that can be utilized ...

Southwest Research Institute partnered with the Carnegie Institution for Science to perform laboratory experiments to better ...

nitrogen fixation provides 50 to 60 percent of the nitrogen needed by the soybean crop. A small amount of nitrogen comes from atmospheric deposition, including some fixed by lightning. The rest ...

An oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from serious damage, and its use in ...

Until recently only a few microorganisms were thought to fix the nitrogen of the atmosphere in the form essential to higher plant and animal life. Now a number of others have been found ...

If corn was ever jealous of soybean's relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, advancements in gene editing could one day ...

A research team has discovered how the 'Shethna protein II' protects the nitrogen-fixing enzyme nitrogenase from damage. The oxygen sensor protein could help to make nitrogenase usable in ...

The introduction of N-Finity is an extension of Nutrien’s “purpose-built approach” to biologicals, and it brings three ways ...

Snow provides insulation, reflects sunlight and acts as a medium for transporting and depositing essential nutrients, like ...

A small helper for big tasks: an oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from ...

Efficient nitrogen use boosts agriculture but overuse harms the environment and health. FAO urges sustainable practices like ...

For years, attempts have therefore been made to transfer the natural nitrogen fixation in bacteria and ... nitrogenase is extremely sensitive to atmospheric oxygen, which is produced by plants ...
