Nitrogen- fixing bacteria is a  micro- organisms which is capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen. More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms, which thus play an important role in the nitrogen cycle. Decomposers are the organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms. They use organic substrates in order to obtain their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development.
