Groundbreaking Discovery: The First Nitrogen-Fixing Organelle Unveiled
An international team of scientists has discovered the first nitrogen-fixing organelle, the “nitroplast,” within a eukaryotic cell, challenging the notion that only bacteria can fix nitrogen. Through decades of research, the nitroplast’s existence sheds light on evolutionary biology and offers new perspectives on nitrogen fixation, with implications for ocean ecosystems and sustainable agriculture. In an … Read more
