Structure of the Azotobacter vinelandii surface layer [PDF]
Electron microscopy of the Azotobacter vinelandii tetragonal surface array, negatively stained with ammonium molybdate in the presence of 1 mM calcium chloride, showed an apparent repeat frequency of 12 to 13 nm. Image processing showed dominant tetrad units alternating with low-contrast cruciform structures formed at the junction of slender linkers ...

Biological N2 fixation by nitrogenase offers a sustainable alternative to the Haber–Bosch process. Heterologous nitrogenase production in Escherichia coli is a promising strategy. We engineered E. coli with nitrogen fixation (nif) operons from diazotrophic Paenibacillus species.

Structural Analysis of a Nitrogenase Iron Protein from Methanosarcina acetivorans: Implications for CO2 Capture by a Surface-Exposed [Fe4S4] Cluster. [PDF]
Nitrogenase iron (Fe) proteins reduce CO2 to CO and/or hydrocarbons under ambient conditions. Here, we report a 2.4-Å crystal structure of the Fe protein from Methanosarcina acetivorans (MaNifH), which is generated in the presence of a reductant ...

Endogenous Encystment of Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]
When young cells of Azotobacter vinelandii are impinged on membrane filters, washed free of carbon substrate, and placed on a mineral salts basal medium, the culture will proceed to encyst although at a slower rate than if n -butanol were supplied as a substrate.

The CBRB regulon: Promoter dissection reveals novel insights into the CbrAB expression network in Pseudomonas putida [PDF]
CbrAB is a high ranked global regulatory system exclusive of the Pseudomonads that responds to carbon limiting conditions. It has become necessary to define the particular regulon of CbrB and discriminate it from the downstream cascades through other ...

Functional Glass‐based Fertilizer Implementing Bacterial Nitrogen Fixation
ABSTRACT Fertilizers are indispensable in modern agriculture, with >200 Mt of nitrate and mineral fertilizers being consumed globally each year. Sustainable agricultural intensification requires nutrient‐efficient fertilization strategies that avoid environmental damage and preserve finite resources.
