The rest comes from the soil, either from that left over from fertilizing the previous corn crop or from soil organic matter mineralization carried out by soil microbes. Nitrogen fixation takes a ...

The biogeochemical flow of phosphorous and nitrogen is one of the Stockholm Resilience Centre's key planetary boundaries that ...

“This added ecological complexity, combined with biological nitrogen fixation, presents a unique opportunity to enhance soil carbon accumulation by fostering stronger plant-microbe interactions, ...

Stanford researchers have found a surprising genetic twist in a lineage of microbes that may play an ... biochemist Lance Seefeldt. "We need nitrogen to survive, but we can't take it in from ...

MEYER and Anderson 1 recently found that moderately high temperatures inhibit symbiotic nitrogen fixation in subterranean clover grown in nutrient agar and they imply that their results may be ...

Prochlorococcus marinus, a tiny, emerald-colored microbe, is the most abundant photosynthesizing organism on Earth. It is ...

These bacteria form nodules on the roots. The bacteria in these nodules take nitrogen from the atmosphere and put it into a form that the legume can use to make protein and grow. This process is known ...

Taking inspiration from how nature—including lightning—produces ammonia, a team led by the University at Buffalo has ...

These microbes, with intrinsic genetic traits enabling nitrogen fixation, deliver reliable yield performance. The collaboration between BioConsortia and H&T marks a significant step forward in ...

Plant roots and their associated microbial communities form complex and dynamic interactions that are critical for nutrient acquisition, soil health, and plant resilience. These interactions, which ...

Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new reactor that can produce ammonia directly from air and water — ...
