    Conversion of molecular nitrogen into biologically accessible nitrogen compounds

    Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process by which molecular dinitrogen (N
    2) is converted into ammonia (NH
    3).[1] It occurs both biologically and abiologically in chemical industries.

    Biological nitrogen fixation or diazotrophy is catalyzed by enzymes called nitrogenases.[2] These enzyme complexes are encoded by the Nif genes (or Nifhomologs) and contain iron, often with a second metal (usually molybdenum, but sometimes vanadium).[3]

    Some nitrogen-fixing bacteria have symbiotic relationships with plants, especially legumes, mosses and aquatic ferns such as Azolla.[4] Looser non-symbiotic relationships between diazotrophs and plants are often referred to as associative, as seen in nitrogen fixation on rice roots.

    Nitrogen fixation occurs between some termites and fungi.[5] It occurs naturally in the air by means of NOx production by lightning.[6][7]
