The below mentioned article provides a short note on reductase synthesis. Ammonia produced after nitrogen fixation is either immediately converted to organic nitrogen or to nitrate by nitrifying bacteria like Nitrosomonas in soil. The nitrates are then taken up by the plants and reduced to ammonia by a series of enzymes involving eight electrons transfer per molecule of NH3 formed. [...]
IN this article we will discuss about the Subject-Matter and Mechanism of Nitrogen Fixing Systems. Subject-Matter of Nitrogen Fixing Systems: Blue-green algae share with bacteria the potentiality of fixing atmospheric nitrogen. To date, nearly 50 spp. are reported to be active nitrogen fixers. Nitrogen fixation was demonstrated initially in Nostocpunctiformae and Anabaena sp. In 1968, Fay made the suggestion that [...]
In this article we will discuss about Processes of Nitrogen Metabolism. Processes of Nitrogen Metabolism: Like carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, nitrogen is also one of the most prevalent essential macro-elements which regulates plant growth, especially in agricultural systems. The main source of nitrogen for the construction of nitrogenous organic compounds is the atmosphere. It occurs in such essential biomolecules as [...]
