1.1 Where it comes from
1.1.1 Half from Bacteria | Biological
- KBe20bio101refBactera
- Diazotrophs (bacteria which have Nitrogenase)
- Symbiotic bacteria in the soil with legumes
- That's why legumes have more protein, because they have more available nitrogen.
- Nitrogenase!
- Urine -> urea -> lots of ammonia -> good for plants / cows maybe?
- Symbiotic bacteria in the soil with legumes
1.1.2 Half from industrial nitrogen fixation | Industrial
- Haber-Bosch process
- Invented by the same guy who invented poison gas / chemical weapons
- Without it, we wouldn't be able to feed around a third of the current population.
