As the Arctic Ocean loses its sea ice due to climate change, sunlight penetrates deeper into the water and encourages the ...

Researchers from Aarhus University are one step closer to understanding how some plants survive without nitrogen. A ...

The discovery of non-cyanobacteria diazotrophs underneath Arctic sea ice could change our understanding of the food web, as ...

To truly deliver on their promise, nitrogen-fixing microbes need to up their game, says Ginkgo ag bio head, Michael Miile.

All known life forms require nitrogen. However, more than 70% of all nitrogen on Earth occurs as inert, triple-bonded dinitrogen gas in the atmosphere, which is generally biologically unavailable. A ...

So, nitrogen-fixing bacteria have the added task of keeping oxygen away from the enzyme to prevent it from rusting, which requires a lot of work. In one study on a type of cyanobacteria, researchers ...

Nitrogen-fixing plants provide critical nitrogen inputs that support the high productivity of tropical forests, but our understanding of the ecology of nitrogen fixers – and especially their ...
