Nitrogenase (nifH) gene expression in diazotrophic cyanobacteria in the Tropical North Atlantic in response to nutrient amendments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
The Tropical North Atlantic (TNAtl) plays a critical role in the marine nitrogen cycle, as it supports high rates of biological nitrogen (N2) fixation, yet it is unclear whether this process is limited by the availability of iron (Fe), phosphate (P) or ...

Serpentine Biocrust Microbes Maintain Nitrogen Cycling Under Drought and Heavy Metal Stress

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study highlights the complex interplay between soil geochemistry and moisture availability in shaping microbial communities within wetter and drier serpentine and non‐serpentine biological soil crusts. It demonstrates that both factors influence the structure of nitrogen‐cycling microbial communities and the processes they mediate.

Molecular evidence for sediment nitrogen fixation in a temperate New England estuary [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Primary production in coastal waters is generally nitrogen (N) limited with denitrification outpacing nitrogen fixation (N2-fixation). However, recent work suggests that we have potentially underestimated the importance of heterotrophic sediment N2 ...

Effect of ammonium concentration on methane oxidation and CO2 removal in an anaerobic biotrickling filter treating synthetic landfill gas and leachate

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1632-1642, August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Landfill gas (LFG) and leachate are commonly treated separately through energy‐intensive processes. This study evaluated the integration of both streams in an anaerobic biotrickling filter (BTF) to achieve simultaneous methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) removal coupled with ammonium (NH4+) transformation, and how the microbial ...

Transient Ecological Niches for Diazotrophs in Upwelling Bays

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Diazotrophs, microorganisms capable of fertilizing the ocean through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), are widespread in the oceans, including upwelling bays. However, their ability to respond to short‐lived upwelling pulses, lasting only a few days, remains poorly understood. To investigate diazotrophy across temporal scales, we analyzed 18

Changes in Acetylene Reduction Activities and nifH Genes Associated with Field-Grown Sweet Potatoes with Different Nursery Farmers and Cultivars

Horticulturae, 2019
Sweet potato cultivars obtained from different nursery farmers were cultivated in an experimental field from seedling-stage to harvest, and the acetylene reduction activity (ARA) of different parts of the plant as well as the nifH genes associated with ...

Influence of ammonium and moisture on survival and nifH transcription in the diazotrophic Pseudomonas mendocina S10

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2020
Nitrogen is important for crop productivity and usually added in form of urea into the soil which negatively affects the environment. It is important to utilize nitrogen fixing bacteria for improving the nitrogen content of soil in India.

Spatial Partitioning of Microbial Functional Potential Suggests Complex Nitrogen Cycling in a Subterranean Estuary

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microbial communities in a Mediterranean subterranean estuary show spatially structured nitrogen‐cycling potential across hydrochemical zones. Microbial properties, more than environmental variables, predict NO2− and NH4+ concentrations, highlighting their key role in controlling nitrogen transformations prior to submarine groundwater discharge ...

Characterization and analysis of nifH genes from Paenibacillus sabinae T27

Microbiological Research, 2012
Paenibacillus sabinae T27 (CCBAU 10202=DSM 17841) is a gram-positive, spore-forming diazotroph with high nitrogenase activities. Three nifH clusters were cloned from P. sabinae T27. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that NifH1, NifH2 and NifH3 cluster with Cyanobacterium. Each of the coding regions of nifH1, nifH2 and nifH3 from P.
