Much of the chemical conversions are performed by microbes as part of their metabolism, performing a valuable service in the process for other organisms in providing them with an alternate chemical form of the element. Nitrogen fixation is an essential process for Earths organisms, since nitrogen is a required component of various organic molecules, such as amino acids and nucleotides.
