various organic compounds into simple farms e.g. nitrates,
sulphates, etc which are useful for green plants
Protein contained in the dead bodies of animals are acted
only by certain bacteria which converts these proteins into
nitrates which are absorbed by green plants
Azotobector and Clostridium:-Help in fixing the free
nitrogen of air and fertility of soil as also increased by
action of soil bacteria which brings about conversion of
insoluble material onto soluble forms which are absorbed by
green plants
