Nitrogen, rhizobia, and legumes

ARMOR on the Air

Today we’re talking about nitrogen fixation, a process that allows plants to take up nitrogen from soil to *live* and lets us eat those plants to also *live*, and the bacteria that makes it all go ‘round: rhizobia. We delve into the symbiotic relationship of legume plants and rhizobia, bird pee and mammal pee, and the invention of mustard gas, and somehow it’s all related!

ARMOR on the Air is a student-led podcast based out of the University of Colorado Boulder. We discuss the antimicrobial resistance crisis and what we as members of the public can do to help! Join our hosts, graduate student Dana and Danish pharmacist Karoline, as we learn more about superbugs and how to stop them!

ARMOR is an outreach organization at CU Boulder. We promote safe and responsible use of antibiotics, support research into new antibiotics, and encourage the public to take steps in their daily lives to limit development of more superbugs!
