Azotobacter species bacteria are known for their nitrogen-fixing capabilities, making them valuable in agricultural and environmental applications. One important factor that can affect their growth is the concentration of ammonium sulfate, which is a common nitrogen source. By determining the optimal concentration of ammonium sulfate for promoting the growth of Azotobacter species, we can optimize their performance in various biotechnological processes, such as biofertilizer production or bioremediation. This information will contribute to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of these bacteria in nitrogen cycling and agricultural sustainability.
