Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) - the conversion of molecular nitrogen into ammonia - is one of the most important reactions in ecology and agriculture. It is performed exclusively by microbes (prokaryotes) that live in symbiosis with plants. This book summarizes the latest research on this reaction, the participating microbes and the genetics of how their relevant genes could be transferred into the plants. In the light of a more sustainable and less ecologically damaging agriculture, this is becoming an increasingly pressing issue.
All organisms require nitrogen to live and grow. The movement of
nitrogen between the atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere in
different forms is described by the nitrogen cycle. This book is an
activity of the COST 856 Action on Denitrification. It covers all
aspects of the N-cycle: chemistry, biology (enzymology, molecular
biology), physics, applied aspects (greenhouse effect, N-pollution
problems, practices in farming, in waste-water treatment, and
more). In this book, leading editors offer the latest research
available on dentrification (reduction of nitrates or nitrites
commonly by bacteria- as in soil).
