mBio, 2022 Engineering plants to synthesize nitrogenase and assimilate atmospheric N2 will reduce crop dependency on industrial N fertilizers. This technology can be achieved by expressing prokaryotic nitrogen fixation gene products for the assembly of a functional

Food and Energy Security, 2023 Soybean is a rich source of protein and oil for humans. It forms a symbiotic association with rhizobia to fix atmospheric nitrogen for its growth and development. Rhizobial type‐III effectors act as important signaling molecules in symbiosis.

An alternative path for the evolution of biological nitrogen fixation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Nitrogenase catalyzed nitrogen fixation is the process by which life converts dinitrogen gas into fixed nitrogen in the form of bioavailable ammonia. The most common form of nitrogenase today requires a complex metal cluster containing molybdenum (Mo ...

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2013 Nitrogenase contains two unique metalloclusters: the P-cluster and the M-cluster. The assembly processes of P- and M-clusters are arguably the most complicated processes in bioinorganic chemistry. There is considerable interest in decoding the biosynthetic mechanisms of the P- and M-clusters, because these clusters are not only biologically important ...

Classifying the metal dependence of uncharacterized nitrogenases
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Nitrogenase enzymes have evolved complex iron-sulfur (Fe-S) containing cofactors that most commonly contain molybdenum (MoFe, Nif) as a heterometal but also exist as vanadium (VFe, Vnf) and heterometal independent (Fe-only, Anf) forms.

A nitrogenase-like enzyme system catalyzes methionine, ethylene, and methane biogenesis
Science, 2020 Soil sulfur metabolism surprise Soil bacteria have a range of metabolic pathways that contribute to acquiring and recycling nutrients and carbon. Curiously, some of these organisms give off ethylene gas when starved for sulfur under anaerobic conditions.

Structural Characterization of Two CO Molecules Bound to the Nitrogenase Active Site
Angewandte Chemie, 2020 As an approach towards unraveling the nitrogenase mechanism, we have studied the binding of CO to the active‐site FeMo‐cofactor. CO is not only an inhibitor of nitrogenase, but it is also a substrate, undergoing reduction to hydrocarbons (Fischer–Tropsch‐

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,

Archaea, bacteria and termite, nitrogen fixation and sustainable plants production
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2021 Certain bacteria and archaea are responsible for biological nitrogen fixation. Metabolic pathways usually are common between archaea and bacteria. Diazotrophs are categorized into two main groups namely: root-nodule bacteria and plant growth-promoting ...
