Oxygen transfer rate during the production of alginate by Azotobacter vinelandii under oxygen-limited and non oxygen-limited conditions [PDF]
, 2011 Background The oxygen transfer rate (OTR) and dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) play an important role in determining alginate production and its composition; however, no systematic study has been reported about the independent influence of the OTR and DOT.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.A polyethylene surrogate sample containing paraffin, polywax and polyethylene was exposed to selected microbes identified in this study. This image shows the surface of this surrogate following a six‐week incubation with Rhodococcus jostii. ABSTRACT Polyethylene represents a particularly recalcitrant class of plastics that persist for decades in the ...

AMB Express, 2019 Iron deficiency is one of the main causes of chlorosis in plants, which leads to losses in field crops quality and yield. The use of synthetic chelates to prevent or correct iron-deficiency is not satisfactory mainly due to their poor biodegradability ...

Classifying the metal dependence of uncharacterized nitrogenases [PDF]
, 2013 Nitrogenase enzymes have evolved complex iron–sulfur (Fe–S) containing cofactors that most commonly contain molybdenum (MoFe, Nif) as a heterometal but also exist as vanadium (VFe, Vnf) and heterometal-independent (Fe-only, Anf) forms.

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Biological nitrogen fixation is the process by which certain bacteria and archaea use the enzyme nitrogenase to reduce atmospheric nitrogen into bioavailable ammonium. Engineering non‐nitrogen‐fixing organisms, like plants, to use nitrogenase could reduce dependency on synthetic fertilizer and mitigate the environmental impacts of industrial ...

Genetic diversity of Azotobacter strains isolated from soils by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis [PDF]
, 2014 Strains of Azotobacter mediate in the nitrogen fixation process by reducing of N2 to ammonia. In this study, 50 strains were isolated from different rhizospheric soil in central Iran, by using soil paste-plate method.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.

Genotypic Characterization of Azotobacteria Isolated from Argentinean Soils and Plant-Growth-Promoting Traits of Selected Strains with Prospects for Biofertilizer Production [PDF]
, 2013 The genetic diversity among 31 putative Azotobacter isolates obtained from agricultural and non-agricultural soils was assessed using rep-PCR genomic fingerprinting, and identified to species level by ARDRA and partial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis ...
