NifH- Harboring Bacterial Community Composition Across an Alaskan Permafrost Thaw Gradient

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Since nitrogen (N) is often limiting in permafrost soils, we investigated the N2-fixing genetic potential and the inferred taxa harboring those genes by sequencing nifH gene fragments in samples taken along a permafrost thaw gradient in an Alaskan boreal

Molecular Analysis of the Microbial Guild Fixing Nitrogen in Ricefield Soils in Missouri

Microbiology Research
Non-symbiotic diazotrophic microbes are important contributors to global N budgets in cereal crops. Knowledge of the biogeography of the organisms in this functional guild increases our understanding of biological N fixation in diverse locations and ...

Plant-Mediated Changes in Soil N-Cycling Genes during Revegetation of Copper Mine Tailings

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2017
Nitrogen limitation represents a major bottleneck during the revegetation of mine tailings. However, controls over key nitrogen-cycling genes in rhizospheric soils under differential vegetation management remain poorly understood.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Expression of the Klebsiella pneumoniae nifH gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Enzyme 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.

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

PLoS 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 ...

Analysis of nifH DNA and RNA reveals a disproportionate contribution to nitrogenase activities by rare plankton-associated diazotrophs

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Holobionts comprising nitrogen-fixing diazotrophs and phytoplankton or zooplankton are ubiquitous in the pelagic sea. However, neither the community structure of plankton-associated diazotrophs (PADs) nor their nitrogenase transcriptional ...

Warm‐wet transition restructures arid lake microbiomes and functional potential

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study summarizes how a long‐term warm‐dry to warm‐wet transition restructures microbiomes and functional potential in Lake Bosten, an arid lake in northwestern China. Warm‐wet hydroclimatic change increased water level and hydrological connectivity, while decreasing salinity and total nitrogen.

Seasonal Shifts in Diazotrophs Players: Patterns Observed Over a Two-Year Time Series in the New Caledonian Lagoon (Western Tropical South Pacific Ocean)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Coastal and open ocean regions of the Western Tropical South Pacific ocean have been identified as a hotspot of N2 fixation. However, the environmental factors driving the temporal variability of abundance, composition, and activity of diazotrophs are ...

A novel strain D5 isolated from Acacia confusa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
We isolated a novel strain D5 from nodules of Acacia confusa. Under strict sterile conditions the strain could successfully nodulate Acacia confusa, A. crassicarpa and A.
