An Investigation on the Influence of a Biofilm Fertilizer on Plant Growth and Soil Geophysical Properties

Abstract

A biofilm is a grouping of one or more types of microorganisms in which cells stick together. Atmospheric nitrogen (N2) can be converted into ammonia (NH3) by organisms in a process called biological nitrogen fixation, becoming more bioavailable for plants to use. Anabaena cylindrica is a non-toxic nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (NFC) that has been proposed for use as a biofertilizer.https://digitalcommons.mtech.edu/urp_aug_2017/1009/thumbnail.jp
