Symbiotic fixation is the most powerful natural way of adding N to soil. Plants in the Legume family(beans, peanuts, clover, etc.) produce nodules in their roots that house bacteria from the genus Rhizobium. The bacteria turn atmospheric N into ammonium, while the Legume feeds sugar to the bacteria. Alder trees have a similar relationship with an actinomycete, Frankia. Some free-living bacteria also fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into useful forms in the soil.  1, record 1, English, - symbiotic%20fixation

[...] la plante hôte (la légumineuse) offre un micro habitat exceptionnellement favorable à la bactérie tout en lui procurant des substrats carbonés provenant de la photosynthèse. En retour, la bactérie fixe l'azote atmosphérique (N₂) et le fournit à la plante hôte sous forme assimilable NH₃ [...] Cette association à bénéfice réciproque entre la légumineuse et les bactéries est appelée symbiose permettant une fixation symbiotique de l'azote de l'atmosphère.  1, record 1, French, - fixation%20symbiotique
