The type of bacteria that are able to change pure nitrogen (N₂) into ammonia compounds are called nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through a process known as nitrogen fixation, which is essential for making nitrogen available to plants and other organisms. Examples of nitrogen-fixing bacteria include Rhizobium (which forms symbiotic relationships with legumes) and Azotobacter (free-living bacteria).
