Ammonia (NH3) is vital for agriculture, as it is the basis for fertilizers that are needed to feed the world's population.

A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may ...

A new nitrogen allotrope has been created at last Chemists string 6 nitrogen atoms together to make hexanitrogen by Bethany Halford June 11, 2025 Credit: Nature ...

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 ...

The interplay between root exudates and rhizobacteria is essential for enhancing agricultural productivity. Herein, the impacts of cerium dioxide nanomaterials (CeO2 NMs) on these interactions in ...

Nitrogen pollution causes eutrophication and algal blooms worldwide. Algae-derived organic sulfides can interact with organisms to affect nitrogen cycling, but the associated patterns and mechanisms ...

New research reveals a symbiosis between a marine diatom and a Rhizobia-like bacterium, essential for nitrogen fixation in the ocean, which may also impact future agricultural practices by enabling ...

An alga’s bacterial symbiote has evolved into an organelle that turns atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, making the alga unique among eukaryotes.

In two recent papers, an international team led by UC Santa Cruz scientists describe the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle within a eukaryotic cell. The organelle is the fourth example in history ...

Groundbreaking research reveals how ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms coexist by preferring different nitrogen sources, significantly advancing our understanding of the global nitrogen cycle and ...
