Current Progress in Nitrogen Fixing Plants and Microbiome Research
Plants, 2020 In agroecosystems, nitrogen is one of the major nutrients limiting plant growth. To meet the increased nitrogen demand in agriculture, synthetic fertilizers have been used extensively in the latter part of the twentieth century, which have led to ...

The nitrate transporter family protein LjNPF8.6 controls the N-fixing nodule activity [PDF]
, 2017 N-fixing nodules are new organs formed on legume roots as a result of the beneficial interaction with soil bacteria, rhizobia. The nodule functioning is still a poorly characterized step of the symbiotic interaction, as only a few of the genes induced in

Effect of Thiols for Nitrogen Reduction to Ammonia [PDF]
, 2019 Ammonia is an important chemical used for fertilizers and also a potential carbon-free hydrogen storage medium. The Haber-Bosch process is the main production process, which requires large energy- and capital-input. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an

The Spectroscopy of Nitrogenases [PDF]
Chemical Reviews, 2020 Nitrogenases are responsible for biological nitrogen fixation, a crucial step in the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. These enzymes utilize a two-component protein system and a series of iron-sulfur clusters to perform this reaction, culminating at the FeMco active site (M = Mo, V, Fe), which is capable of binding and reducing N2 to 2NH3. In this review,

Diversity and Functional Analysis of the FeMo-Cofactor Maturase NifB
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 One of the main hurdles to engineer nitrogenase in a non-diazotrophic host is achieving NifB activity. NifB is an extremely unstable and oxygen sensitive protein that catalyzes a low-potential SAM-radical dependent reaction.

Genomic Variation Influences Methanothermococcus Fitness in Marine Hydrothermal Systems
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Hydrogenotrophic methanogens are ubiquitous chemoautotrophic archaea inhabiting globally distributed deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems and associated subseafloor niches within the rocky subseafloor, yet little is known about how they adapt and ...
