About the bacteria

About the bacteria

Azotobacter is a genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria from the _Azotobacteraceae _family. It's a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium that boosts soil fertility by converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. They also aid in bioremediation by breaking down contaminants and form a protective capsule to survive harsh conditions. Azotobacter supports sustainable agriculture, plant health, and healthier ecosystems by enhancing soil nitrogen levels.
