Overview: Nitrogen fixation research is presented as a rapidlydeveloping, synergistic area of modern science, using the methods of,and accumulating data from, many fundamental branches of biology andchemistry. These include catalytic mechanisms, protein structure andfunction, molecular organization of genes and the regulation of theiractivities, biochemistry of plants and microorganisms, the signallingand surface interactions between organisms, microbial taxonomy andevolution, formal and population genetics, and ecology.
