The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted from organic to inorganic forms; many steps are performed by microbes. Learning Objective. Key Points. Nitrogen is converted from atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into usable forms, such as NO2-, in a process known as fixation.
The Nitrogen Cycle 1. Nitrogen fixation: - the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, using energy from ATP. - Free-living Rhizobium, and Azotobacter living mutualistically in root nodules both fix nitrogen. 2. Nitrification: - the conversion of ammonia to nitrate, involves two types of soil bacteria: - Nitrosomonas converts ammonia to nitrite - Nitrobacter convert nitrite to nitrate 3. Denitrification: - conversion of nitrate into nitrogen in a type of anaerobic respiration
