Two Key Ferredoxins for Nitrogen Fixation Have Different Specificities and Biophysical Properties
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Two ferredoxins, FdC and FdN, are collectively essential for the process of nitrogen fixation by the iron nitrogenase in R. capsulatus. We explore the biophysical factors, through spectroscopic and structural characterizations, which determine ferredoxin functionality and pathway specificity. The structure of FdC (PDB: 9I2A) and model of FdN (AF‐D5ARY6)

Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Polyhydroxybutyrate Derived from Azotobacter Vinelandii N‐15
ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.The bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii N15 synthesizes polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from sugar production waste. The study reveals the molecular composition, crystallinity, and thermal behavior of the synthesized biopolymer. Mechanical tests demonstrated high tensile strength and relatively low elongation at break. These properties highlight PHB's potential

ModE Regulates Alternative Nitrogenase Expression in the Methanogen Methanosarcina acetivorans
Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.During nitrogen fixation, the methanogen Methanosarcina acetivorans produces the alternative vanadium‐nitrogenase and iron‐nitrogenase only when molybdenum is unavailable to support the activity of molybdenum‐nitrogenase. Our work demonstrates that the expression of the alternative nitrogenases in M.
