Life in most ecosystems depends upon continual circulation of nutrient chemical from the earth to the biosphere, termed the "biogeochemical cycles." One of these cyclic element processes, the nitrogen cycle, is examined in relation to one bacterium, Axotobacter, which is capable of initiating the primary reactions of this cycle, namely the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia. These bacteria, which are also capable of forming protective structures, termed cysts, are discussed in relation to their part of the perfect plan of God as revealed in life. The author also refers to the even more resistant forms produced by other independent, or non-symbiotic nitrogen fixers, of the genus Clostridium, and concludes that the resting cells which these bacteria have are a created advantage which is necessary for the perpetuation of the nitrogen cycle and life which is a result of it, and of the other cyclic processes.
