Did you know? Legumes (pulses like beans, peas, lentils) are natural fertilizer factories! 🌱 They fix nitrogen from the air into the soil, cutting the need for synthetic fertilizers and boosting soil health. #NitrogenFixation #SustainableAg #SDG2
✨Fueling the world: Half our food relies on ammonia made by a century-old process! 🌍 The other half? Nature's magic! 🌱 #NitrogenFixation

How Bean Roots Fix Nitrogen and Could Redefine Modern Farming
Beans form nodules with bacteria that turn N₂ into ammonia; DNA analysis of >12,000 species shows multiple origins of this trait, improve crops and cut fertilizer use. Read more: getnews.me/how-bean-roots-fix-nitro... #nitrogenfixation #sustainableag

A timeline of the Earth's oceans, showing the availability of trace metals, oxidation state, and constraints on the evolutionary development of Mo-, Fe-, and V-nitrogenases, from the Archean to the present. From Rucker and Kaçar, 2024, Trends in Microbiology.
Today, molybdenum is one of the most common trace elements in the ocean due to oxidative weathering of #Molybdenite. But in the Archean the oceans were reducing, and molybdenum was scarce.
Other nitrogenases evolved to use other transition elements, but […]

A model of the Fe-Mo-Cofactor nitrogenase from Jiménez-Vicente et al, 2015 A complex molecule with a cage of iron and sulfur atoms connected to an organic chain via a molybdenum atom (grey).
#Molybdenite is the primary host for the element molybdenum in the Earth's crust.
Molybdenum is part of the most effective biological molecule for nitrogen fixation (Mo-nitrogenase), which converts atmospheric N2 to a bio-available form.
The grey sphere is Mo […]
