Ferredoxins from Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria
Two ferredoxins have been purified from N2-fixing Mycobacterium flavum. Ferredoxin I had a minimum molecular weight (by amino acid analysis) of 11 230 and contained 7.4 mol Fe and 7.0 mol S2per mol. The ratio of the absorbance at 400 nm to that at 275 nm was 0.7. Ferredoxin I1 had a minimum molecular weight of 13478 and contained 3.4 mol Fe and 3.2 mol S2per mol. The ratio of the absorbance at ...
متن کاملAmmonia Accumulation of Novel Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria
Nitrogen is an essential element for many biological processes, including those occurring in plants (Ogura et al., 2006). Despite the abundance of atmospheric nitrogen, production of nitrogen fertilisers by the Harber–Bosch process is increasing annually due to the deficiency of ammonia produced by biological nitrogen fixation—the enzyme-catalyzed reduction of nitrogen gas (N2). Concern over ‘g...
متن کاملFructosebisphosphatase isoenzymes of the chemoautotroph Xanthobacter flavus.
Xanthobacter flavus employs two fructosebisphosphatase (FBPase)-sedoheptulosebisphosphatase (SBPase) enzymes. One of these is constitutively expressed and has a high FBPase-to-SBPase ratio. The alternative enzyme, which is encoded by cbbF, is induced during autotrophic growth. The cbbF gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the FBPase was purified to homogeneity. The purified enzyme has a ...
متن کاملNitrogen-Fixing Bacteria in Eucalyptus globulus Plantations
Eucalypt cultivation is an important economic activity worldwide. In Portugal, Eucalyptus globulus plantations account for one-third of the total forested area. The nutritional requirements of this crop have been well studied, and nitrogen (N) is one of the most important elements required for vegetal growth. N dynamics in soils are influenced by microorganisms, such as diazotrophic bacteria (D...
متن کاملAerobic Hydrogen Accumulation by a Nitrogen-Fixing Cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp.
Hydrogen evolution by a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp. strain N-7363, was tested in order to develop a water biophotolysis system under aerobic conditions. A culture of the strain supplemented with carbon dioxide under an air atmosphere evolved hydrogen and oxygen gas, which reached final concentrations of 9.7 and 69.8%, respectively, after 12 days of incubation. Hydrogen uptake a...
