the only biological process capable of converting inert nitrogen gas (accounting for almost 78% of the gas in the Earth's atmosphere) into valuable ammonia. The bacterial pathway has been ...

Imagine a world where industrial waste isn't just reduced, it's turned into something useful. This kind of circular economy is already in the works for carbon. Now, researchers in energy, ...

The work is published in the journal Science. N 2 O enters the atmosphere through various pathways, including anthropogenic sources like nitrogen-rich synthetic fertilizers, chemical reduction of ...

The function of many biologically active molecules requires the presence of carbon-nitrogen bonds in strategic positions. The biosynthetic pathways leading to such bonds can be bypassed through ...

Most organisms require nitrogen to produce biological molecules ... “and how it’s integrated with the rest of the cell’s metabolism.” Karen is a science journalism intern at The Scientist. Her PhD and ...

Roslyn Gleadow, a biologist at Monash University in Australia who studies nitrogen metabolism in plants and didn’t contribute to the review, notes that the hypotheses that high carbon dioxide alters ...

A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health looks at the impact of nitrogen fertiliser on pollen allergies.
