Composting Bacteria break down [biodegrade, compost] organics such a leaves, grass, wood, etc., which allows the nutrients to be "less bound up," and thus more available to newly growing vegitation.

Nitrogen fixing bacteria, often called Rhizobia (singular Rhizobium), are a key component of the nitrogen cycle. Atmospheric nitrogen is useless to living organisms, but often binds to hydrogen forming compounds such as ammonia (NH3) and ammonium (NH4+). However, most plants cannot use ammonia so nitrogen fixing bacteria, or nitrifying bacteria, convert ammonia to oxygen compounds such as nitrate (NO3-), which helps plants to grow. These rhizobia are fixed in legumes' nodules, which are on the roots, and provide the nitrates to the plant. Animals then eat the plants, and so on and so forth, and the cycle continues. Conversely, denitrifying bacteria convert nitrates back to pure nitrogen gas, as another component of the cycle.

What do saprophytic plants lack?

Are saprophytic plants green in colour?

Yes, saprophytic plants are typically not green in color. These plants do not have chlorophyll, so they cannot photosynthesize and produce their own food. Instead, they obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter.
