Alginate is a gelling polysaccharide found in great abundance as part of the cell wall and intracellular material in the brown seaweeds (Phaeophyceae). Most of the alginate used commercially is obtained from Macrocystis, Laminaria, and Ascophyllum [137]. Recently, Azotobacter vinelandii, a nitrogen-fixing bacterium... 

It was subsequently found that a nitrogen-fixing bacterium, Klebsiella aewgenes, existed in the intestinal tract. It is presumed that the sweet potato diet promoted the growth of these bacteria, which are capable of synthesizing essential amino acids, and the human host thereby becomes a walking legume. ... 

Free-living bacteria in Temperate Zones fix only 2 to 3 kg N ha yr In the tropics, however, there is increasing evidence that nitrogen fixation by bacteria, particularly those growing in associative symbioses may be important. In Brazil, the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azotobacter paspali lives in association with roots of the tropical forage plant Paspalum notatum. This association fixes 90 kg N ha yr [29]. 

The observations of Ruinen (1956, 1961, 1965) may throw light on this nitrogen accretion problem. She states that the nitrogen-fixing bacterium, Beijerinckia, abounds on the moist leaves of tropical vegetation in Indonesia and Surinam. These sticky leaves in rain forests can doubtless supply an abundance of energy material that the bacteria may...
