Sentence examples for nitrogen bacteria from inspiring English sources

Algae leave certain signatures of organic compounds and isotopes of carbon and nitrogen; bacteria leave different signatures.

The model featured multiple growth limiting resources (nitrogen, phosphorus, silica, light), multiple phytoplankton groups (P-specialist, N-specialist, intermediate group), aspects of the microbial loop (labile dissolved organic nitrogen, bacteria, microflagellates, ciliates), and a capstone predator (copepods).

In its more general form (GEM10), the model solves for nitrate, ammonium, dissolved nitrogen, bacteria and two size categories of phytoplankton, zooplankton and detritus, in addition to solving for dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity to enable estimation of the carbon dioxide flux at the air sea interface.

Nodules are specialized organs in which fixing nitrogen bacteria reduce atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia [ 18].

For example, a protein with a phenotypic profile "FnFl" stands for a protein with homologs in plant nitrogen fixing bacteria and free-living nitrogen fixing bacteria only, thus representing a protein that may be potentially involved in symbiosis.

Because protozoa require five to ten-fold less nitrogen than bacteria, N is released when a protozoan eats a bacterium.

Cattails and other aquatic plants soak up nitrogen, and bacteria speed decomposition.

Since it takes a lot of energy to fix nitrogen, the bacteria probably use urea as their main nitrogen source as long as their host is making enough, and switch to nitrogen as a backup, the Japanese scientists say.

Crossman, L. C. et al. A common genomic framework for a diverse assembly of plasmids in the symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria.

These legumes are known as nitrogen-fixers, because they are able to absorb gaseous nitrogen through bacteria on their roots, making it available to plants as well as fertilizing the soil.
