This IS a nitrogen cycle. Sure it would be great to utilize waste nitrogen as well but that doesn't take away from this.

Btw this is how lagumes fix nitrogen. This nothing new but since it is already in maze it can probably be crossbred into production corn lines without that toxic GMO label.

Bacteria fix nitrogen, not legumes.
