Planted tree fallows and their influence on soil fertility and maize production in East Africa [PDF]
, 2005 Soil fertility depletion is a main constraint to food production in sub-Saharan Africa. This thesis concerns the potential of N2-fixing trees to increase nitrogen inputs to agroforestry systems and accordingly to improve crop production.

Hopanoid lipids may facilitate aerobic nitrogen fixation in the ocean. [PDF]
, 2019 Cyanobacterial diazotrophs are considered to be the most important source of fixed N2 in the open ocean. Biological N2 fixation is catalyzed by the extremely O2-sensitive nitrogenase enzyme.

Adaptive Hydrogels With Spatiotemporal Stiffening Using pH‐Modulating Enzymes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The chemomechanical coupling in an adaptive hydrogel is studied to further the development of adaptive hydrogels. This coupling is achieved by embedding a pH‐modulating enzyme in a pH‐responsive hydrogel. The enzymatic reaction can be triggered locally, which generates a pH‐decreasing wave throughout the system, increasing the crosslinking density and ...

A LABORATORY EXERCISE TO ILLUSTRATE ASPECTS OF BIOLOGICAL N2 FIXATION TO PLANT SCIENCE STUDENTS
HortScience, 1993 A laboratory exercise on biological N2 fixation (BNF) using two diverse legume species was developed. Students plant surface-sterilized seeds of Robinia pseudoacacia L. and Glycine max (L.) Merill together in plastic pots with a sterile medium. Pots are assigned to one of six treatments.
