Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 In Anabaena variabilis, the nif1 genes, which are activated by CnfR1, produce a Mo-nitrogenase that is expressed only in heterocysts. Similarly, the nif2 genes, which are activated by CnfR2, make a Mo-nitrogenase that is expressed only in anaerobic ...

Negative Cooperativity in the Nitrogenase Fe Protein Electron Delivery Cycle [PDF]
, 2016 Nitrogenase catalyzes the ATP-dependent reduction of dinitrogen (N2) to two ammonia (NH3) molecules through the participation of its two protein components, the MoFe and Fe proteins.

Antenna Modification Leads to Enhanced Nitrogenase Activity in a High Light-Tolerant Cyanobacterium
mBio, 2021 Biological nitrogen fixation is an energy-intensive process that contributes significantly toward supporting life on this planet. Among nitrogen-fixing organisms, cyanobacteria remain unrivaled in their ability to fuel the energetically expensive ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is the reduction of N2 into NH3 in a group of prokaryotes by an extremely O2-sensitive protein complex called nitrogenase. Transfer of the BNF pathway directly into plants, rather than by association with microorganisms,

NifA is the master regulator of both nitrogenase systems in Rhodobacter capsulatus
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Rhodobacter capsulatus fixes atmospheric nitrogen (N2) by a molybdenum (Mo)‐nitrogenase and a Mo‐free iron (Fe)‐nitrogenase, whose production is induced or repressed by Mo, respectively. At low nanomolar Mo concentrations, both isoenzymes are synthesized

A two-stage, two-organism process for biohydrogen from glucose [PDF]
, 2006 H2 can potentially be produced in a two-stage biological process: the fermentation of glucose by Escherichia coli HD701 and the photofermentation of the residual medium by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U. 001. In a typical batch fermentation, E.

Test of Host Sanction Hypothesis in Soybean Plants Co-inoculated with Nitrogen Fixing and Non-fixing Bradyrhizobium japonicum [PDF]
, 2015 Aims: We tested the proposed mechanism for potential sanctions, that the plant would reduce viability of non-fixing rhizobia inside nodules, performing viable Bradyrhizobium japonicum counts from co-occupied and single-occupied nodules in co-inoculated ...

Characterization of an M-Cluster-Substituted Nitrogenase VFe Protein
mBio, 2018 The Mo- and V-nitrogenases are two homologous members of the nitrogenase family that are distinguished mainly by the presence of different heterometals (Mo or V) at their respective cofactor sites (M- or V-cluster).

Nitrogen Fixation Mutants of the Actinobacterium Frankia Casuarinae CcI3 [PDF]
, 2017 Frankia is a representative genus of nitrogen-fixing (N2-fixing) actinobacteria; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying various phenomena such as the differentiation of a N2 fixation-specific structure (vesicle) and the regulation of N2 fixation ...
