BURK?S MEDIUM

Nitrogen fixing organisms are free-living bacteria, which grow well on a nitrogen free medium. These bacteria utilize atmospheric nitrogen gas for their cell protein synthesis. This cell protein is then mineralised in soil after the death of the cells, thereby contributing towards the nitrogen availability of the crop plants. Burks medium is recommended for detection of nitrogen fixing organisms such as Azotobacter species from soil.
