Cyclic conversion of nitrogen into compound and release to the environment.

Explanation:

  1. Nitrogen is important component of living worlds. Instead of 78% in atmosphere, only few bacteria and Cyanobacteria are able to directly fix the atmospheric nitrogen into usable form.
  2. Finally, the nitrogen is returned back to atmosphere by some denitrifying bacteria. This cyclic phenomenon is 'nitrogen cycle'. Thank you
