Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria Live at Ocean Vents

December 18th 2006 21:28
A bacteria found at sea vents on the ocean floor produces usable nitrogen at temperatures of 198 degrees Fahrenheit (92 degrees Celsius), hotter than any before known. Nitrogen is necessary for life, but most creatures lack the ability to pull it out of the air and break it down for use. Nitrogen-fixers do this work for the rest of us.

Deep sea vents are fascinating. There's still so much left to learn about them. I'll keep an eye out for that show.

I'm glad the site has interesting information. I appreciate all your visits, even the invisible ones. Thanks for coming by and merry Christmas!
