===Implications and Applications=== | |||
Microorganisms that fix nitrogen are known as diazotrophs. The main problem occurring for these organisms is the oxygen that interferes with nitrogenase, the enzyme that converts the nitrogen to ammonia. The problem lies in the fact that some organisms need oxygen to live, but need it not interfere with nitrogenase. Others fare better by living in low oxygen environments, so no help is necessary (Ref 10). | Microorganisms that fix nitrogen are known as diazotrophs.
