Hello everyone

How I could appreciate the efficiency of nitrogen fixation by freely fixing bacteria?

@ Abdellaziz, I think, acetylene reduction assay (ARA) is the best measure of nitrogen fixation by freely living bacteria. The method was found to be positively correlated with the population of free living nitrogen fixing bacteria (R2 = 0.78, p
