Archaea, bacteria and termite, nitrogen fixation and sustainable plants production [PDF]
Certain bacteria and archaea are responsible for biological nitrogen fixation. Metabolic pathways usually are common between archaea and bacteria. Diazotrophs are categorized into two main groups namely: root-nodule bacteria and plant growth-promoting ...

Electron paramagnetic resonance studies on nitrogenase. II. Interaction of adenosine 5'-triphosphate with azoferredoxin [PDF]
The interaction of ATP with both iron-sulfur proteins of nitrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum, azoferredoxin and molybdoferredoxin, has been studied by low-temperature EPR spectroscopy.

Electron paramagnetic resonance studies on nitrogenase. III. Function of magnesium adenosine 5'-triphosphate and adenosine 5'-diphosphate in catalysis by nitrogenase [PDF]
The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of azoferredoxin and molybdoferredoxin, components of the nitrogenase of Clostridium pasteurianum, disappear when the proteins are oxidized by certain dyes.

Electron paramagnetic resonance studies on nitrogenase : I. The properties of molybdoferredoxin and azoferredoxin [PDF]
Both molybdoferredoxin and azoferredoxin exhibit EPR signals. Reduced azoferredoxin has a g = 1.94 type signal characteristic of nonheme iron proteins. Reduced molybdoferredoxin has EPR signals with g-values of 2.01, 3.78 and 4.27. This resonance appears

On the structure and function of nitrogenase from W5 [PDF]
Molybdoferredoxin from W5 was fractionated into MoFd with two atoms of molybdenum per 220,000 daltons and a specific activity of 2.6 [mu]moles C2H2 reduced/min/mg protein and into a catalytically inactive species with an identical protein moiety but an ...

Nitrogen fixation in eukaryotes – New models for symbiosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Nitrogen, a component of many bio-molecules, is essential for growth and development of all organisms. Most nitrogen exists in the atmosphere, and utilisation of this source is important as a means of avoiding nitrogen starvation.

Structural Interaction Between Nitrogenase and Cell Membrane in Free-Living, Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria (Rhodopseudomonas, Viridis, Azotobacter, Vinelandii, Rhodospirillum, Rubrum). [PDF]
Rhodopseudomonas viridis grows by means of nitrogen fixation under anaerobic, photosynthetic conditions. In batch culture, nitrogenase activity was highest at early-logarithmic phase, lower during mid- to late-logarithmic phase, and nearly zero during ...

Mapping nif genes of Rhodobacter capsulatus, and characterization of a mutant with a pleiotropic defect in nitrogen metabolism [PDF]
Includes vita.Mutations affecting the ability of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus to fix nitrogen (Nif- ) have previously been mapped into six linkage groups (I-VI) by transduction with gene transfer agent (GTA).

Mechanism of the Enzymic Reduction of N_2: The Binding of Adenosine 5'-Triphosphate and Cyanide to the N_2-reducing System [PDF]
The in vitro reduction of N_2 is a complex process involving at least six different reactants: two proteins [1,2] for which the names azoferredoxin (AzoFd) and molybdoferredoxin (MoFd) have been proposed[3], an electron source, the electron acceptor, ATP[
