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.

In contrast, heterocyst-forming species can simultaneously carry out oxygenic photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation (Equations 1, 2; Figure 3). This capability arises from their two distinct cell types ...

Ever wanted to produce nitrogen fertilizer like they did in the 1900s? In that case, you’re probably looking at the Birkeland-Eyde process, which was the first industrial-scale atmospheric ...

Nitrogen is essential for all life on Earth. In the global oceans, however, this element is scarce, and nitrogen availability is therefore critical for the growth of marine life. Some bacteria ...

A new gene-editing technology for sustainable agriculture has been published by Scientific Reports' peer-reviewed research, showing the potential to make microbes more efficient at converting ...

Enabling Nutrient Symbioses in Agriculture (Ensa) is an international research project aimed at enhancing biological nitrogen fixation to increase yields. Ultimately, the project hopes to reduce ...

“We need nitrogen to survive, but we can’t take it in from the air,” says Seefeldt, professor and head of USU’s Department of ...

Food productivity is dependent on the availability of fertilizer, says Utah State University biochemist Lance Seefeldt. "We ...
