Two Key Ferredoxins for Nitrogen Fixation Have Different Specificities and Biophysical Properties
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)

Assessment of free-living nitrogen fixing microorganisms for commercial nitrogen fixation [PDF]
Ammonia production by Klebsiella pneumoniae is not economical with present strains and improving nitrogen fixation to its theoretical limits in this organism is not sufficient to achieve economic viability. Because the value of both the hydrogen produced

Biological Routes for Biohydrogen Production: A Clean and Carbon‐Free Fuel
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Biological routes for hydrogen (H2) production are mainly classified into four pathways: 1) direct bio‐photolysis, 2) indirect bio‐photolysis, 3) photo‐fermentation, and 4) dark fermentation. Of these pathways, dark fermentation produces the highest levels of H2 production.

Improving the Efficiency of a Bioreactor Equipped With Mixed‐Flow Impellers
The present work investigated the biological performance of mixed‐flow impellers. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first experimental study on such impellers in a fermentation process using A. vinelandii, which was chosen as a microorganism due to its high oxygen demand.

THE OXALACETATE DECARBOXYLASE OF AZOTOBACTER VINELANDII
In 1941 Krampitz and Werkman (1) discovered an enzyme in Micro- coccus lysodeikticus which catalyzed the decarboxylation of oxalacetate. By means of an exchange reaction they were able to demonstrate the in- corporation of isotopic carbon dioxide into the p-carboxyl group of oxal- acetic acid in the presence of this enzyme (2). Similar results were ob-
