Cyanobacterial N2‐fixing microorganisms (diazotrophs) play a critical role in nitrogen and carbon cycling in the oceans; hence, accurate measurements of diazotroph abundance are imperative for understanding ocean biogeochemistry.

Rhizobium japonicum nitrogenase Fe protein gene (nifH) [PDF]
A 12.1-kilobase PstI fragment from Rhizobium japonicum, which contains homology to both the Klebsiella pneumoniae and the Rhizobium meliloti nifH genes, was cloned into vector pHE3 . The nifH -homologous region was localized on the restriction enzyme cleavage map by Southern blot hybridization experiments. DNA fragments overlapping the R.

Detection and characterization of cyanobacterial nifH genes [PDF]
The DNA sequence of a 359-bp fragment of nifH was determined for the heterocystous strains Anabaena sp. strain CA (ATCC 33047), Nostoc muscorum UTEX 1933, a Nostoc sp., Gloeothece sp. strain ATCC 27152, Lyngbya lagerheimii UTEX 1930, and Plectonema boryanum IU 594.

The response of diazotrophs to nutrient amendment in the South China Sea and western North Pacific [PDF]
The availability of iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) has been shown to be a key factor regulating rates of nitrogen fixation in the western subtropical Pacific.

<i>NifH</i> gene amplicon sequencing and metagenomic approaches are complementary in assessing diazotroph diversity. [PDF]
Abstract Exploring the diversity of diazotrophs is key to understanding their role in supplying fixed nitrogen that supports marine productivity. A nested PCR assay using the universal primer set nifH1-nifH4, which targets the nitrogenase (nifH) gene, is a widely used approach for studying marine diazotrophs by amplicon sequencing ...

Nitrogenase gene amplicons from global marine surface waters are dominated by genes of non-cyanobacteria. [PDF]
Cyanobacteria are thought to be the main N(2)-fixing organisms (diazotrophs) in marine pelagic waters, but recent molecular analyses indicate that non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs are also present and active.

Comparative phylogeny of rrs and nifH genes in the Bacillaceae [PDF]
The rrs (16S rDNA) gene sequences of nitrogen-fixing endospore-forming bacilli isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat and maize were determined in order to infer their phylogenetic position in the Bacillaceae. These rhizosphere strains form a monophyletic cluster with Paenibacillus azotofixans, Paenibacillus polymyxa and Paenibacillus macerans.

Diazotrophs Show Signs of Restoration in Amazon Rain Forest Soils with Ecosystem Rehabilitation. [PDF]
Biological nitrogen fixation can be an important source of nitrogen in tropical forests that serve as a major CO2 sink. Extensive deforestation of the Amazon is known to influence microbial communities and the biogeochemical cycles they mediate. However,
