Organisms That Synthesize Nitrogenase
- Free-living diazotrophs, e.g.
- Cyanobacteria (by means of differentiated heterocysts)
- Azotobacteraceae
- Symbiotic diazotrophs, e.g.
- Rhizobia
- Frankia

Famous quotes containing the words organisms and/or synthesize:
“The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.”
—Policy statement, 1944, of the Youth League of the African National Congress. pt. 2, ch. 4, Fatima Meer, Higher than Hope (1988)
“It is the business of the critic, as of the portrait painter, to synthesize a million glances at his subject that will tell the onlooker at one glance the truth about him, as ultimate as he can get it.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
