A two-stage, two-organism process for biohydrogen from glucose [PDF]
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.

Water changes are predicted to regulate physiological activities of bryophytes characterized by poikilohydric gametophytes. In montane forest ecosystems, nitrogen(N)–fixing bryophyte–cyanobacteria associations are main N resources.

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 ...

Nitrogenase: A Draft Mechanism [PDF]
Biological nitrogen fixation, the reduction of N(2) to two NH(3) molecules, supports more than half the human population. The predominant form of the enzyme nitrogenase, which catalyzes this reaction, comprises an electron-delivery Fe protein and a catalytic MoFe protein.

Antenna Modification Leads to Enhanced Nitrogenase Activity in a High Light-Tolerant Cyanobacterium
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 ...

A distributed multi-GPU ab initio density matrix renormalization group algorithm with applications to the P-cluster of nitrogenase [PDF]
The presence of many degenerate $d/f$ orbitals makes polynuclear transition metal compounds such as iron-sulfur clusters in nitrogenase challenging for state-of-the-art quantum chemistry methods. To address this challenge, we present the first distributed multi-GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) \emph{ab initio} density matrix renormalization (DMRG ...

Elucidating Reaction Mechanisms on Quantum Computers [PDF]
We show how a quantum computer can be employed to elucidate reaction mechanisms in complex chemical systems, using the open problem of biological nitrogen fixation in nitrogenase as an example. We discuss how quantum computers can augment classical-computer simulations for such problems, to significantly increase their accuracy and enable hitherto ...

Dinitrogen-Fixing Cyanobacteria in Microbial Mats of Two Shallow Coral Reef Ecosystems [PDF]
Dinitrogen-fixing organisms in cyanobacterial mats were studied in two shallow coral reef ecosystems: La Reunion Island, southwestern Indian Ocean, Sesoko (Okinawa) Island, and northwestern Pacific Ocean.

The initial development of common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) relying on symbiotic nitrogen (N) can be limited by delayed active N2 fixation, requiring supplemental N which in turn may inhibit the symbiosis.
