| Mode of Action | Azotobacter consists of a range of enzymes required for nitrogen fixation (ferredoxin, hydrogenase and nitrogenase). Nitrogen fixation requires a large amount of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate. As the process of Nitrogen fixation is highly sensitive, Azotobacter develops a defensive mechanism against oxygen which helps in reduction of oxygen in the cells. |
