Biological nitrogen fixation can contribute to maintaining the nitrogen balance and reducing the risk of environmental pollution caused by nitrogen fertilizer application in flooded paddy soils. Microorganisms associated with microbial iron [Fe(III)] reduction are prevalent and presumed to be closel...
