Isolation, identification and characterization of nitrogen fixing endophytic bacteria and their effects on cassava production [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Cassava (Manibot esculenta Crantz) is one of the most important among tuber crops. The amount of nitrogen fertilizer used for cassava production is relatively high (400 kg ha−1), but there are few studies on biological nitrogen fixation in ...

Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation and the Challenges to Its Extension to Nonlegumes [PDF]
, 2016 Access to fixed or available forms of nitrogen limits the productivity of crop plants and thus food production. Nitrogenous fertilizer production currently represents a significant expense for the efficient growth of various crops in the developed world.

How many metals does it take to fix N2? A mechanistic overview of biological nitrogen fixation [PDF]
, 2006 During the process of biological nitrogen fixation, the enzyme nitrogenase catalyzes the ATP-dependent reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia. Nitrogenase consists of two component metalloproteins, the iron (Fe) protein and the molybdenum-iron (MoFe) protein;

Nitrogen Yields and Biological Nitrogen Fixation of Winter Grain Legumes
Agronomy, 2021 Grain legumes are valuable sources of protein and contribute to the diversification and sustainability of agricultural systems. Shifting the sowing date from spring to autumn is a strategy to address low yields of spring grain legumes under conditions of

A secular increase in continental crust nitrogen during the Precambrian [PDF]
, 2017 Recent work indicates the presence of substantial geologic nitrogen reservoirs in the mantle and continental crust. Importantly, this geologic nitrogen has exchanged between the atmosphere and the solid Earth over time. Changes in atmospheric nitrogen (i.
