Nitrogen fixation is the process of converting atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) into usable forms, such as nitrates (NO3-) which can be used by plants as a source of nitrogen to make proteins and other important compounds. Nitrogen fixation is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil or in nodules on the roots of plants such as legumes.
