Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules of legumes like peas and clover convert nitrogen in the air into plant-usable nitrates. The plant provides the bacteria food and shelter in the nodules in a symbiotic relationship, while the bacteria supplies the plant with nitrates. Decomposing dead plants and animal waste, as well as bacteria in the soil, break down nitrates and turn them back into nitrogen in the air in a nitrogen cycle.

(nitrifying bacteria) The nitrogen fixing bacteria are found inlumps on the roots called root nodules. The bacteria and the plant have a symbiotic relationship: the bacteria benefits by having food and shelter from the plant and the plant benefits by having nitrates produced by the bacteria.
