Abstract

Berthelot in 1888 was the first to suggest that nitrogen may be added to field soils through the activity of microorganisms. In 1901 Beijerinck isolated a non-symbiotic, aerobic, nitrogen-fixing organism which he called Azotobacter chroococcum. Since this time five other species belonging to this genus have been isolated and likewise have been found capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen.
