For example, legumes host molybdenum-containing nitrogenase, but animals ...

Additional contaminants include protozoan oocysts such as Cryptosporidium sp., Giardia lamblia, Legionella, and viruses (enteric). [19] Microbial pathogenic parameters are typically of greatest concern because of their immediate health risk.

These include: O 2 and CO 2 (mainly from the air via leaves) and H 2 O, NO − 3, H 2 PO − 4 and SO 2− 4 (mainly from the soil water via roots). Plants produce oxygen gas (O 2) along with glucose during photosynthesis but then require O 2 to undergo aerobic cellular respiration and break down this glucose to produce ATP.
