Examples of this type of nitrogen-fixing bacteria include species of Azotobacter, Bacillus, Clostridium, and Klebsiella. As previously noted, these organisms must find their own source of energy, typically by oxidizing organic molecules released by other organisms or from decomposition

It nitrogen fixing bacteria because Rhizobium and basillus are the only bacteria that fixes atmospheric nitrogen.

YES copy urs too,cus we need more explanations

Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria: Like Rhizobium* spp* and Bacillus spp* in the nodules* of legumes convert free nitrogen into soluble Trioxonitrate*(V) (nitrates) which are absorbed through the roots. This is a symbiotic Biological fixation. Also free living non symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria like Azobacter* and Clostridium* convert free nitrogen into Nitrates.
