Biological Nitrogen Fixation ist ein umfassendes zweibändiges Referenzwerk mit Reviews und Originaltexten zu Schlüsselthemen der Stickstoff-Fixierung. Der Schwerpunkt liegt bei beiden Bänden auf molekularen Verfahren und fortschrittlichen Konzepten der biochemischen Analyse mit Bezug zu den verschiedenen Aspekten der biologischen Stickstoff-Fixierung.
Band 1 untersucht die Chemie und Biochemie von Nitrogenase, nif-Genregulation, die Taxonomie, Evolution und Genomik von Organismen, die in der Lage sind Stickstoff zu fixieren, sowie deren Physiologie und Metabolismus.
Band 2 beschäftigt sich mit der symbiotischen Interaktion von stickstofffixierenden Organismen mit Wirtspflanzen, einschließlich Nodulation und symbiotische Stickstoff-Fixierung, Pflanzen- und Mikroben-"Omik", Cyanobakterien, diazotrophe Organismen und Nicht-Leguminosen, Feldstudien und Inokulationsvorbereitung, Stickstoff-Fixierung und Getreideprodukte.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation deckt sämtliche Aspekte der aktuellen Forschung in dem Fachgebiet ab und wirft einen Blick in die Zukunft. Dieses Referenzwerk bietet Experten im Bereich der mikrobiellen Ökologie und Umwelt-Mikrobiologen, Pflanzenforschern und Agrarwissenschaftler, die auf dem Gebiet der Nachhaltigkeit von Kulturpflanzen arbeiten, alles Wissenswerte zu dem Fachgebiet.

Summary
Nitrogen is arguably the most important nutrient required by plants. However, the availability of nitrogen is limited in many soils and although the earth's atmosphere consists of 78. 1% nitrogen gas (N2) plants are unable to use this form of nitrogen.
