Nitrogen fixation and hydrogen metabolism in cyanobacteria.
This review summarizes recent aspects of (di)nitrogen fixation and (di)hydrogen metabolism, with emphasis on cyanobacteria. These organisms possess several types of the enzyme complexes catalyzing N(2) fixation and/or H(2) formation or oxidation, namely, two Mo nitrogenases, a V nitrogenase, and two hydrogenases. The two cyanobacterial Ni hydrogenases are differentiated as either uptake or bidi...
متن کاملEnhanced quantum yield of nitrogen fixation for hydrogen storage with in situ-formed carbonaceous radicals.
NH3 is a potential hydrogen energy carrier. Here we use alcohols as hole scavengers to investigate the nitrogen photofixation mechanisms including direct and indirect electron transfer processes. The t-butanol system exhibited the highest quantum yield of 36.1%, ascribing to the in situ-formed indirect electronic transmitter ˙CO2(-).
متن کاملNitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria stimulates production in Baltic food webs
Filamentous, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria form extensive summer blooms in the Baltic Sea. Their ability to fix dissolved N2 allows cyanobacteria to circumvent the general summer nitrogen limitation, while also generating a supply of novel bioavailable nitrogen for the food web. However, the fate of the nitrogen fixed by cyanobacteria remains unresolved, as does its importance for secondary pro...
متن کاملRemote sensing of new production fuelled by nitrogen fixation
[1] Climatological satellite observations in the tropical North Atlantic generally show a wintertime surface chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) maximum except over a broad region in the western North Atlantic that has a summer Chl-a maximum. This region also shows decoupling between Chl-a and vertical nutrient flux, based on the positive relationship between sea surface height anomaly (SSH), sea surface tem...
متن کاملThe Impact of Seasonality on in Situ Nitrogen Fixation Rate
To investigate the input of combined nitrogen by cyanobacteria in mangrove ecosystems and the seasonal fluctuation of this biological process, in situ nitrogen fixation activity was measured in day and night experiments carried out at Maruhubi mangrove ecosystem adjacent to Zanzibar town. Sampling was done for 12 months at two stations: Station I covering sandy sediments and Station II muddy se...
