Respiration in Azotobacter vinelandii and its relationship with the synthesis of biopolymers
Azotobacter vinelandii is a gram-negative soil bacterium that produces two biopolymers of biotechnological interest, alginate and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), and it has been widely studied because of its capability to fix nitrogen even in the presence of ...

The Siderophore Metabolome of Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]
ABSTRACT In this study, we performed a detailed characterization of the siderophore metabolome, or “chelome,” of the agriculturally important and widely studied model organism Azotobacter vinelandii . Using a new high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) approach, we found over 35 ...

Automatic Control for the Production of Alginate by Azotobacter Vinelandii
Alginates are polymers used in the food and pharmaceutical industries as stabilizing, thickening, gel or film-forming agents. Food coatings formed from alginate have shown to have excellent properties such as flexibility and resistance to tearing.

Induction and ultrastructure for cysts of Azotobacter
Within 5 days of induction with n-butanol medium, 98%vegetative cells of Azotobacter vinelandii gave rise to cysts. 91% vegetative cells of Azotobacter chroococcus were converted to cysts. The cysts were spheroids or elliptical whose axe is 1.2 pm to 1.5

Morphogenesis of Cysts in Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]
Cultures of Azotobacter vinelandii were induced to encystment with β-hydroxybutyrate. The morphological events in the transition from cell to cyst were observed by electron microscopy of thin sections. Upon induction of encystment, cells became rounded and nonmotile.
