Bacteria Certain bacteria can use nitrogen from the air to make nitrogen-containing substances called nitrites. Other bacteria can turn nitrites into nitrates-another group of nitrogen-containing substances.

The term for bacteria that convert nitrogen into nitrogen compounds is nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
What do you call the conversion of nitrogen gas into nitrogen compounds by bacteria?
Nitrogen fixation.
What organisms are responsible for producing nitrogen compounds?
nitrogen fixing bacteria

Some types of bacteria from nitrogen compounds in the soil?
Nitrogen fixation

Why is bacteria important to the nitrogen cycle?
bacteria in root fixes free nitrogen ito simple compounds
Why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Some bacteria have the ability to "fix" nitrogen, that is they can utilize gaseous (atmospheric) nitrogen to produce organic compounds. (They can all break down compounds to free nitrogen too.)
What is the name given to any bacteria that convert nitrogen to nitrogen compounds?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium.
Some types of bacteria form nitrogen compounds in the soil?
the answer is nitrogen fixation
Why is bacteria critical to nitrogen cycle?
Because nitrifying bacteria can fix atmospheric nitrogen in to chemical compounds. This nitrogen fixed by bacteria is utilized by plants in making proteins. Again several microbes including bacteria decompose organic matter in to inorganic compounds. Thus nitrogen cycle is maintained by the activity of bacteria, hence these are critical to nitrogen cycle.
