Overview
Nitrogen fixation research uses the methods of and accumulating data from fundamental branches of biology and chemistry. These include: catalytic mechanisms; protein structure and function; molecular organization of genes and the regulation of their activities; biochemistry of plants and micro-organisms; the signalling and surface interactions between organisms; microbial taxonomy and evolution; formal and population genetics; and ecology. The relationships between biological nitrogen fixation research and different branches of applied biology are addressed and analyzed, such as: the monitoring of genetically engineered micro-organisms, selection of plant-associated microbes, plant breeding, increasing the protein content of crops, providing ecologically safe food production, and diminishing the chemical pollution of the environment.

Reviews
' ... the text is unusually crisp and clear, making it exceptionally readable ... a valuable resource ... will be a good point to begin exploring the entire topic ... I highly recommend this book as a valuable resource for any research library and for the serious researcher in nitrogen fixation. In my opinion, it is the type of book that one would go back to and always be able to discover something new.' Soil Science, 162:2 (1997)
