Signals of Life: Fertilizer from the Air - Prof. Dr. Thomas Ott

Thomas Ott is researching a symbiosis between leguminous plants such as beans or peas and certain bacteria. “The bacteria release nitrogen to the plant and thus fertilise it,” explains Ott. This means that the healthy growth of legume plants is not dependent on a sufficient supply of nitrogen from the soil. In other crops, this must be provided by energy-intensive fertilisation. One of the aims of Ott's research is to transfer the ability to undergo this symbiosis to other crops.
