Description

Every living organism needs nitrogen to make nucleic acids and proteins. But before atmospheric nitrogen can be used, the strong triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms has to be broken. In nature, there are two things that can do this – lightning and certain bacteria.

This Environmental Studies Factsheet summarises:
• How bacteria do this.
• The biological implications of this process.
• The type of exam question that comes up.
