Enhanced Urea Production in the Diazotroph Azotobacter vinelandii as a Means of Stable Nitrogen Biofertiliser Production [PDF]
Microbial BiotechnologyDiazotrophic microbes capture atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into ammonia using the enzyme nitrogenase in a process that provides much of the fixed nitrogen that is required to sustain life in the biosphere.

A critical role of an oxygen-responsive gene for aerobic nitrogenase activity in Azotobacter vinelandii and its application to Escherichia coli [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Since nitrogenase is irreversibly inactivated within a few minutes after exposure to oxygen, current studies on the heterologous expression of nitrogenase are limited to anaerobic conditions.
