I was taken back a significant period of years by the article in C&EN on nitrogen fixation as a potential answer to the massive overuse of fertilizers (July 31, 2023, page 24). The underlying reasons ...
A few years ago, I listened to a forage specialist from Auburn University giving a talk at a national meeting. His opening ...
The shrinking sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is, overall, a disaster. But paradoxically, the melting of the ice can also fuel the engine of the Arctic food chains: algae. Algae are the main food source ...
A new research initiative led by associate professor of bacteriology Betül Kaçar is positioned to transform agriculture and address some of the world’s most pressing ecological and economic challenges ...
Nitrogen is vital for all known life. Yet most nitrogen on Earth is in the atmosphere as di-nitrogen gas, which many organisms can’t use. Fortunately, there are microbes that can tap into this ...
Marine nitrogen fixation, the conversion of inert dinitrogen gas into bioavailable nitrogen compounds by specialised microorganisms, underpins the productivity of the world’s oceans. Diazotrophic ...
Nitrogen fixation in soil is a microbial-mediated process that converts atmospheric dinitrogen into forms accessible to plants, profoundly influencing terrestrial productivity, nutrient cycling and ...
Scientists have developed a uranium-based complex that allows nitrogen fixation reactions to take place in ambient conditions. The work lays the foundation to develop new processes for synthesizing ...
Crop yields have increased substantially over the past decades, occurring alongside the increasing use of nitrogen fertilizer. While nitrogen fertilizer benefits crop growth, it has negative effects ...
Research into bacteria strains that are both competitive and efficient in nitrogen fixation and developing plants with those characteristics is the goal of NDSU research started in October 2024.

Loss of Arctic sea ice has tipped the ocean from light-limited to nitrate-limited, starving plankton and the food chain stacked above them
Phytoplankton across most of the Arctic Ocean are now starving for nitrogen rather than struggling for light, a shift that ...
