Nitrogen Fixation and Leghemoglobin
Leghemoglobin carries oxygen to the bacteria found within the plant nodules. The plant feeds the bacteria in order to carry out biological nitrogen fixation. Visit www.abm1st.com to discover products that will assist your crop's nitrogen fixation.

ABM -- Each nodule can be thought of as a factory where hundreds of millions of bacteria reside in about a hundred thousand different plant cells , which are filled with bacteria - and are fed essential nutrients by the plant - such as oxygen carried to the bacteria by leghemoglobin. Yes that's right, the plant makes leg hemoglobin ( for soybeans ) which is essentially like our own hemoglobin in our red blood cells. And it does so to carry oxygen to the bacteria. The bacteria require oxygen to maximize the energy they get from the photosynthet that the plant feeds the bacterium in order for it to be able to carry out Biological Nitrogen Fixation ( BNF ).
