Genetics in methanogens: transposon insertion mutagenesis of a Methanococcus maripaludis nifH gene [PDF]
We designed a transposon insertion mutagenesis system for Methanococcus species and used it to make mutations in and around a nifH gene in Methanococcus maripaludis. The transposon Mudpur was constructed with a gene for puromycin resistance that is expressed and selectable in Methanococcus species. A 15.6-kb nifH region from M.

Azonexus hydrophilus sp. nov., a nifH gene-harbouring bacterium isolated from freshwater [PDF]
Three Gram-negative, non-pigmented, rod-shaped, facultatively aerobic bacterial strains, designated d8-1T, d8-2 and IMCC1716, were isolated from a freshwater spring sample and a eutrophic freshwater pond. Based on characterization using a polyphasic approach, the three strains showed highly similar phenotypic, physiological and genetic characteristics.

Microbiome of Trichodesmium Colonies from the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Filamentous diazotrophic Cyanobacteria of the genus Trichodesmium, often found in colonial form, provide an important source of new nitrogen to tropical and subtropical marine ecosystems.

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts), which supply significant amounts of fixed nitrogen into terrestrial ecosystems worldwide (~33 Tg y-1), are likely to respond to changes in temperature and precipitation associated with climate change.

Nucleotide sequence of a cyanobacterial nifH gene coding for nitrogenase reductase [PDF]
The nucleotide sequence of nifH , the structural gene for nitrogenase reductase (component II or Fe protein of nitrogenase) from the cyanobacterium Anabaena 7120 has been determined. Also reported are 194 bases of the 5′-flanking sequence and 170 bases of the 3′-flanking sequence.

Possible association of diazotrophs with marine zooplankton in the Pacific Ocean
Dinitrogen fixation, the biological reduction in N2 gas to ammonia contributes to the supply of new nitrogen in the surface ocean. To understand the diversity and abundance of potentially diazotrophic (N2 fixing) microorganisms associated with marine ...

Diversity pattern of nitrogen fixing microbes in nodules of Trifolium arvense (L.) at different initial stages of ecosystem development [PDF]
Legumes can be considered as pioneer plants during ecosystem development, as they form a symbiosis with different nitrogen fixing rhizobia species, which enable the plants to grow on soils with low available nitrogen content.

Comparison ofnifHGene Pools in Soils and Soil Microenvironments with Contrasting Properties [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe similarities and differences in the structures of thenifHgene pools of six different soils (Montrond, LCSA-p, Vernon, Dombes, LCSA-c, and Thysse Kaymor) and five soil fractions extracted from LCSA-c were studied. Bacterial DNA was directly extracted from the soils, and a region of thenifHgene was amplified by PCR and analyzed by restriction.

Dissolved organic matter stimulates N2 fixation and nifH gene expression in Trichodesmium [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mixotrophy, the combination of heterotrophic and autotrophic nutrition modes, is emerging as the rule rather than the exception in marine photosynthetic plankton. Trichodesmium, a prominent diazotroph ubiquitous in the (sub)tropical oceans, is generally considered to obtain energy via autotrophy.
