This project explores a newly discovered marine bacterium that can convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrate, enhancing nitrogen availability in ecosystems. It aims to understand the factors influencing this process and its implications for the global nitrogen cycle.
The largest reservoir for nitrogen on earth is the atmosphere that contains 78 percent nitrogen gas.
Until now the only known biological process interacting with elemental nitrogen is the bacterial reduction of nitrogen to ammonia for the build up of biomass (nitrogen fixation).
This reaction requires energy and is only carried out in the absence of other nitrogen sources, such as ammonia or nitrate.
Thermodynamically, the oxidation of nitrogen to nitrate with oxygen releases reasonable amounts…
