Summary Introduction

To review:

The consequence of extinction of a type of nitrogen-fixing prokaryotic species and the repercussions in case of extinction of all of them.

Introduction:

Symbiosis occurs when two types of organisms live close to each other and affect the other organisms either positively or negatively. Nitrogen-fixing organisms form mutualistic associations and benefit each other. The role of nitrogen-fixing organisms is to make nitrogen available to the plants in readily absorbable forms.
