D001395	Azotobacter	A genus of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria found in soil and water. Its organisms occur singly, in pairs or irregular clumps, and sometimes in chains of varying lengths.
D016948	Azotobacter vinelandii	A species of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria first isolated from soil in Vineland, New Jersey. Ammonium and nitrate are used as nitrogen sources by this bacterium. It is distinguished from other members of its genus by the ability to use rhamnose as a carbon source. (From Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 9th ed)	Azotobacter miscellum
D019069	Cell Respiration	The metabolic process of all living cells (animal and plant) in which oxygen is used to provide a source of energy for the cell.	Cellular Respiration,Respiration, Cell,Cell Respirations,Cellular Respirations,Respiration, Cellular
