Unlocking nitrogen regulation: structural insights into the NifL-NifA complex and prospects for engineered diazotrophs. [PDF]
The urgent need for sustainable agriculture places biological nitrogen fixation at the forefront of current biotechnological research. Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria play crucial roles in agriculture by enhancing nutrient absorption, regulating hormonal balance, and providing reduced nitrogen to plants. Among these, diazotrophic bacteria, such as

A Foundation for Advancing Studies of the Biodegradation of Polyethylene Surrogates by Environmental and Model Laboratory Microbes. [PDF]
A polyethylene surrogate sample containing paraffin, polywax and polyethylene was exposed to selected microbes identified in this study. This image shows the surface of this surrogate following a six‐week incubation with Rhodococcus jostii. ABSTRACT Polyethylene represents a particularly recalcitrant class of plastics that persist for decades in the ...

Interspecific Transformation in Azotobacter [PDF]
SUMMARY: This paper describes the results obtained in experiments on interspecific transformation in Azotobacter. When Azotobacter chroococcum was transformed with the DNA of A. vinelandii 6–10% of the colonies differed from the parent strain in colour, colony character and biochemical characteristics.

Plasmids of Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]
Four laboratory strains and two isolates of Azotobacter vinelandii were found to contain plasmids. Twenty-five laboratory strains which could fix nitrogen did not have free, covalently closed circular plasmid DNA. The plasmids varied in size from 9 to 52 megadaltons, and each strain yielded only one plasmid. No discernible differences in ability to fix
