To what? More information is needed.

It's an important source of nitrogen for plants, used in producing amino acids and proteins.

It's a preservative used in some prepared meats (like baloney and hot dogs), because it's toxic to certain pathogenic bacteria.

Other than that, more context is needed to answer properly.
