The nitrogen fixing bacteria can be free-living like cyanobacteria or live with symbiotic relationship with plants and fungi.
The chemical conversion of di-nitrogen to ammonia takes place with the help of enzymes like nitrogenase in combination with leghahemoglobin, a protein through a reduction reaction.
