Excerpt From The Course THE ROLE OF NITROGEN Nitrogen is vital for all living organisms. It is important as a macronutrient for plant growth, and is essential for the formation of amino acids and for protein and nucleic acid synthesis. It chiefly exists as an invisible, odourless, chemically inactive gas, which forms 78% of the Earth s atmosphere. Plants take up nitrogen from the soil as nitrate (NO 3- ) or more rarely as ammonium (NH 4+ ) or nitrite (NO 2 ) ions. Nitrogen is present in hundreds of compounds in plants, including amino acids, enzymes, chlorophyll and genes. It is needed in highest concentration in actively growing parts of the plant, ie. shoots, flowers, fruit and root tips. Deficiencies lead to spindly plant growth and yellowing of the leaves. The symptoms first appear in the older leaves and generally appear gradually. Soil nitrogen is replenished by natural processes (ie. the nitrogen cycle and nitrogen fixation) and through fertiliser applications including urea, ammonium sulphate and
10 ammonium nitrate. Too much nitrogen produces soft tissues with a high water content that are particularly prone to frost damage. Excessive leaf growth may occur at the expense of flowering and fruit set, and potassium deficiencies may be induced. THE NITROGEN CYCLE The nitrogen cycle is the circulation of nitrogen between living organisms and the environment. Nitrogen is an essential element for all living organisms, although most living things cannot use atmospheric nitrogen (which makes up 4/5 of the Earth s atmosphere) to make proteins and other organic substances. It first must be converted by bacteria into ammonium or nitrate which cells can use. Nitrogen fixation This is the process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is fixed in the soil by soil microorganisms. The main soil nitrogen-fixing microorganisms are: Rhizobium bacteria that live in nodules in the roots of legumes Actinomycetes Blue-green algae in moist soils Free-living micro-organisms that are found in most soils The symbiotic bacteria which includes Rhizobium bacteria, are by far the most important in terms of the total amounts of nitrogen fixed. In the symbiotic relationship between legumes and Rhizobium, the legume supplies the Rhizobium with carbon compounds as an energy source and also provides a protective environment. The legume, in return, obtains nitrogen in a form usable for the production of plant proteins. Rhizobium invades the roots of pasture legumes such as alfalfa, clovers, peas, soybean, beans, as well as Australian native legumes including Acacias. The bacteria are attracted to the legume by a growth substance and invade the root hairs. They then divide forming filaments and infect the root cortex in which a nodule forms. The bacterium fixes nitrogen by means of the enzyme nitrogenase. In commercial agriculture, soil nitrogen levels are boosted by growing leguminous plants which are inoculated with Rhizobium bacteria. The plants are then harvested, leaving behind the nitrogen-rich roots or by plowing the whole plant back into the soil.
