''Azotobacter chroococcum'' is a bacterium discovered in 1901 by Martinus Beijerinck, noted for his discovery of an infectious agent smaller than a bacterium which is responsible for tobacco mosaic disease, as well as his role in founding the field of virology. It has the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, and was the first aerobic, free-living nitrogen fixer discovered. == Morphology ==
''Azotobacter chroococcum'' is a microaerophilic bacterium,〔 which is able to fix nitrogen under aerobic conditions. To do so, it produces three enzymes (catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase) in order to "neutralise" reactive oxygen species. It also forms a dark-brown water-soluble pigment melanin at high levels of metabolism during the fixation of nitrogen, and is thought to protect the nitrogenase system from oxygen.
