Today more thanhalf of the total nitrogen fertilizers applied are frombiological fixation sources.The editor is an international renowned scientist at theChinese Academy of sciences. He has brought togethercontributions from various research fields in China andEurope.Together they present the state-of-the-art innitrogen-fixation research. The studies range from actino-mycete fixation induced in various genera andspecies ofplants, mechanisms and chemical modeling of enzyme systemstogenetical engineering of organisms.
