Abstract

The biological nitrogen fixation is a global strategic problem, and is very significant to environment, food and population and so on. Currently, its research has been being developed on the level of gene, enzyme, cell and ecosystem. The paper reviews home and overseas research works on exhumation and use of nitrogen-fixing resource, genetics engineering of nitrogen fixation, and biochemistry of nitrogenase and chemical modeling of biological nitrogen fixation, and describe the prospect of biological nitrogen-fixing research.

Key words

Nitrogen fixation; Genetics engineering; Nitrogenase; Chemical modeling
