Although nitrogen comprises 78% of the Earth’s atmosphere, this N2 gas is largely inaccessible to most living organisms, limiting the supply of bioavailable (i.e. fixed) nitrogen to many marine, terrestrial, and aquatic environments. Microbes primarily mediate the many steps of the nitrogen cycle, i...
