Nitrogen Fixation News Today

Methane is a significant contributor to human-driven greenhouse gas emissions, but there is useful group of microbes that can help because they use methane for food.

With fertilizer prices continuing to cut into farmers’ profits, scientists are exploring ways to optimize for microbial nitrogen fixation.

A new metal-organic coating protects bacterial cells from damage without impeding their growth or function. The coated bacteria, which produce ammonia, could make it much easier for farmers to deploy microbes as fertilizers.

As we deal with drought stressed pastures, there may be value in being “ahead of the game” in your pasture management plan this year, says Johnson.

Ammonia is obtained industrially using the Haber–Bosch process, which requires a lot of energy and hydrogen gas. A much milder approach has now been reported by a team of researchers in the journa ...

A new version of Genshin Impact means new hidden achievements for players to search for. Patch 3.2 could be described as a filler update because of the lack of new areas.

A new study from MIT reveals that a peptide produced by some legumes helps them control nitrogen-fixing bacteria by sequestering all available heme, an iron-containing molecule. This sends the bacteria into an iron-starvation mode that ramps up their production of ammonia, the form of nitrogen that is usable for plants.

Some of you may have heard that a thunderstorm results in greener grass. That may not be exactly true since much of the green likely comes from water helping the
