In forest ecosystem of high latitude or high elevation, the nitrogen cycle has not been elucidated, although nitrogen-fixing bacteria may play an important role in forest bed soil for nitrogen supply. In this study, bacterial nitrogen fixation in soil of Northern high latitude area in Pallas, Lapland (68˚N, forest limit) was investigated, and effective of incubation conditions for nitrogen fixation such as concentration of carbon source in medium and temperature, were examined. Although these bacterial microflora did not show any nitrogen fixation in a medium containing 1.0% carbon source, a concentration that is widely used for rhizobia and other diazotrophs, the Lapland soil showed nitrogen-fixing abilities at relatively low (0.30.02%) concentration of carbon source. DNA was extracted from the soil and from cultured bacteria which were incubated in nitrogen-poor medium under alternative conditions. Using DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) technique, analyses for bacteria community of soil of high latitude forest limit area is undertaken in order to reveal specific features of the nitrogen-fixing bacterial community.
