Detailed Solution

Concept: Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms are capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen. 
Two kinds of nitrogen-fixing bacteria are recognized.

Clostridium includes the genus of anaerobic, gram-positive bacteria. 
Whereas Azotobacter refers to the genus of aerobic gram-negative nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
