Unlocking nitrogen regulation: structural insights into the NifL‐NifA complex and prospects for engineered diazotrophs

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1616-1620, March 2026.
The urgent need for sustainable agriculture places biological nitrogen fixation at the forefront of current biotechnological research. Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria play crucial roles in agriculture by enhancing nutrient absorption, regulating hormonal balance, and providing reduced nitrogen to plants. Among these, diazotrophic bacteria, such as

A CRISPR interference system for engineering biological nitrogen fixation

open access: yesmSystems
A grand challenge for the next century is in facing a changing climate through bioengineering solutions. Biological nitrogen fixation, the globally consequential, nitrogenase-catalyzed reduction of atmospheric nitrogen to bioavailable ammonia, is a vital

Enhancement of Nitrogenase Activity in Recombinant Escherichia coli by Replacing Upstream Region of nif Operon from Paenibacillus Species

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 3, 12 February 2026.
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.

Effect of pH on growth and nitrogen fixation of Azotobacter Spp. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Three species o f Azotobacter were isolated from prawn-cum-paddy fields o f Kerala. These strains were found to have the optimum pH for growth and nitrogen fixation near or slightly above neutrality, i.e., in the pH range o f 7.0 to 8.

Regular surface layer of Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1984
Washing Azotobacter vinelandii UW1 with Burk buffer or heating cells at 42 degrees C exposed a regular surface layer which was effectively visualized by freeze-etch electron microscopy. This layer was composed of tetragonally arranged subunits separated by a center-to-center spacing of approximately 10 nm. Cells washed with distilled water to remove an

Advancements and Challenges in the Production of Biosurfactants: A Path Toward Sustainable Surfactant Alternatives

open access: yesChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 13, Issue 1, February 2026.
Microorganisms generate versatile biosurfactants with a wide range of uses. Although cost issues still exist, industrial interest is growing because to the advantages of sustainability, which are enhanced by genetic engineering; life cycle evaluation is crucial for scalable, environmentally responsible production.

Effect of native strains of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on growth and yield of Isabgol (Plantago ovata)

open access: yesThe Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth promotion in isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk.) with native rhizobacteria strains (ISB-2, ISB-5, ISB-8, ISB-9, ISB-10, ISB-125, ISB-15 and ISB-28) isolated from the rhizospheric soils collected from ...

The unphosphorylated EIIA(Ntr) protein represses the synthesis of alkylresorcinols in Azotobacter vinelandii. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Upon encystment induction, Azotobacter vinelandii produces the phenolic lipids alkylresorcinols (ARs) that are structural components of the cysts. The enzymes responsible for the ARs synthesis are encoded in the arsABCD operon, whose expression is ...

Functional Glass‐based Fertilizer Implementing Bacterial Nitrogen Fixation

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 2, February 2026.
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.
