Nitrogen fixation
↓ ↓
Biotic Abiotic
- Rhizobium, Azotobacter. - Atmospheric, Industrial
Explanation:
Nitrogen fixation is a process to fix atmospheric nitrogen, as the atmospheric nitrogen is not readily available. Fixation means making it available by combining reactive elements with nitrogen. Compounds formed are ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites. Nitrogen can be fixed by:
A) Biotic: in two ways
1. Symbiotic: Rhizobium.
2. Asymbiotic: Azotobacter.
B) Abiotic
1. Atmospheric: electric discharge.
2. Industrial
Bacterial like Rhizobium fix nitrogen in plants by nodule formation in leguminous plants. Plants need nitrogen, and these bacteria act like natural biofertilizers.
