Only certain types of bacteria can directly use nitrogen in its gas phase. These bacteria are called legumes. They live in the soil and on the roots of plants. Their job is to convert nitrogen gas into ammonia in a process known as nitrogen fixation. Other bacteria in the soil convert ammonia into nitrates. Once this process is complete, producers can use these products to make proteins. Consumers then eat the producers and reuse the nitrogen to make their own proteins. When organisms die, decomposers return nitrogen to the soil as ammonia. The ammonia may be taken up again by producers. Other soil bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas in a process called denitrification. This process releases nitrogen into the atmosphere once again.
