Nodulation of Shepherdia ×utahensis ‘Torrey’ and the Diversity of Symbiotic Frankia Strains
Shepherdia ×utahensis ‘Torrey’ (hybrid buffaloberry) is an actinorhizal plant that can form symbiotic nodules with the actinobacterial genus Frankia. However, little research has been conducted to investigate the presence of Frankia in their nodules and ...

Cloning and sequencing of the nifH gene ofDesulfovibrio gigas [PDF]
The Desulfovibrio gigas nifH gene has been cloned and sequenced. It consists of an open-reading frame of 822 base pairs encoding a 274 amino acid polypeptide. A potential ntrA-dependent promotor sequence is present. The gene lacks an upstream activator sequence homologous to those often found in nif genes subject to activation by nifA.

In Rhizobium japonicum the nitrogenase genes nifH and nifDK are separated [PDF]
In contrast to Klebsiella pneumoniae or fast-growing Rhizobium species, such as R. meliloti, where the nitrogenase structural genes are clustered in one operon (nifHDK), in slow-growing Rhizobium japonicum 110, nifH and nifDK are on separate operons.

High diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the upper reaches of the Heihe River, northwestern China [PDF]
Vegetation plays a key role in water conservation in the southern Qilian Mountains (northwestern China), located in the upper reaches of the Heihe River. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are crucial for the protection of the nitrogen supply for vegetation in the

Nodularia sp. nifH gene transcripts in the Baltic Sea proper [PDF]
While bacterioplankton indisputably control vital biogeochemical paths in the cycling of carbon and nutrients in the world’s oceans, our knowledge about the functional and genetic diversity of bacterioplankton communities is negligible. In this thesis, molecular and more traditional microbiological methods were used to study the specific function of N2-

Analysis of nifH-RNA reveals phylotypes related to Geobacter and Cyanobacteria as important functional components of the N2-fixing community depending on depth and agricultural use of soil [PDF]
In this survey, a total of 80 787 reads and 28 171 unique NifH protein sequences were retrieved from soil RNA. This dataset extends our knowledge about the structure and diversity of the functional diazotrophic communities in agricultural soils from ...

Comparison of nifH Gene 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.
