Fate of Ammonia -

 
  • The ammonia produced by nitrogenase is immediately protonated to form ammonium ion (NH4+). 
  • As NH4+ is toxic to plants, it is rapidly used near the site of generation to synthesize amino acids.
  • Amino acids synthesis takes place by three methods: reductive animation, catalytic amination and transamination.
