A comprehensive aligned nifH gene database: a multipurpose tool for studies of nitrogen-fixing bacteria

open access: yesDatabase J. Biol. Databases Curation, 2014
We describe a nitrogenase gene sequence database that facilitates analysis of the evolution and ecology of nitrogen-fixing organisms. The database contains 32 954 aligned nitrogenase nifH sequences linked to phylogenetic trees and associated sequence ...

Microbial Metabolism and Disease Virulence Changes Across Day and Night in Coral Black Band Disease Lesions

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
Metatranscriptomic reads from black band disease (BBD) lesions derived from samples collected during the day and night were mapped to near‐complete BBD‐derived metagenome‐assembled genomes to profile diurnal metabolic shifts among key microbial groups. Photosynthesis genes from the cyanobacterium Roseofilum reptotaenium were highly expressed during the

The shifts of diazotrophic communities in spring and summer associated with coral Galaxea astreata, Pavona decussata and Porites lutea

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The coral holobiont often resides in oligotrophic waters; both coral cells and their symbiotic dinoflagellates possess ammonium assimilation enzymes and potentially benefit from the nitrogen fixation of coral-associated diazotrophs. However, the seasonal

Heterotrophic diazotrophy along a river–lake continuum: Lifestyle and contribution to dinitrogen fixation

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Heterotrophic diazotrophs are potentially important to the nitrogen cycle in freshwater ecosystems, yet their abundance, N2 fixation rates, diversity, and association with aggregates remain poorly understood. This study elucidates the contribution of freshwater heterotrophic diazotrophs as free‐living or aggregate‐associated cells to total N2 ...

Temporal dynamics of abundance and composition of nitrogen-fixing communities across agricultural soils.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundDespite the fact that the fixation of nitrogen is one of the most significant nutrient processes in the terrestrial ecosystem, a thorough study of the spatial and temporal patterns in the abundance and distribution of N-fixing communities has ...

Relative Diazotroph Abundance in Symbiotic Red Sea Corals Decreases With Water Depth

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Microbial dinitrogen (N2) fixation (diazotrophy) is a trait critical for coral holobiont functioning. The contribution of N2 fixation to holobiont nitrogen (N) supply likely depends on the ecological niche of the coral holobiont.

nifH pyrosequencing reveals the potential for location-specific soil chemistry to influence N2 -fixing community dynamics.

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, 2014
A dataset of 87 020 nifH reads and 16 782 unique nifH protein sequences obtained over 2 years from four locations across a gradient of agricultural soil types in Argentina were analysed to provide a detailed and comprehensive picture of the diversity ...

Expression of the Klebsiella pneumoniae nifH gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesEnzyme and Microbial Technology, 1987
Dinitrogenase reductase, a component of a complex and highly regulated prokaryotic enzyme, nitrogenase, is expressed in the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A plasmid pH-ADH-1 was constructed that directs the expression of the Klebsiella pneumoniae nifH gene, encoding dinitrogenase reductase, from the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase I promoter.

Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Nodulating Rhizobia in Panxi, China, Are Diverse at Species, Plant Growth Promoting Ability, and Symbiosis Related Gene Levels

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
We isolated 65 rhizobial strains from faba bean (Vicia faba L.) from Panxi, China, studied their plant growth promoting ability with nitrogen free hydroponics, genetic diversity with clustered analysis of combined ARDRA and IGS-RFLP, and phylogeny by ...

Nitrogenase genes in PCR and RT-PCR reagents: implications for studies of diversity of functional genes

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2003
Studies of the diversity of microorganisms in the environment have been facilitated by use of PCR and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Inhibition of the PCR by complex sample matrices and low abundance of some target microorganisms require the use of ...
