چکیده

azotobacter vinelandii, a gamma-proteobacterium, is an obligate aerobic free-living gram-negative soil bacterium capable of fixing nitrogen. oxygen transfer rate into the cell is reduced by the increase of alginate concentrations during the course of a. vinelandii cultivation. this phenomenon provides a low intracellular oxygen concentration needed for nitrogenase activity. the aim of this study was to design a simple strategy to explain the alginate production, cell growth and nitrogenase activity correlation in a. vinelandii under aerobic conditions.thirty-five different soil samples were taken from the rhizosphere of agricultural crops of iran. enrichment and isolation strategies were employed for microbial isolation. physiological and biochemical characteristics were determined. molecular identification was performed using selective nifh-g1 primers. alginate production and nitrogenase activity assay by each isolate of azotobacter were carried out. bacterial growth, alginate production and nitrogenase activity were conducted by time-coursed quantitative measurements.total of 26 isolates were selected after enrichment, isolation, and screening. the isolate was identified by molecular tests as a. vinelandii. the highest alginate productions of 1.02 g/l and 0.91g/l were noted after 4 days in 8 isolates, cell biomass of which were estimated 4.88-5.26 g/l. six of 8 isolates were able to fix atmospheric n(2) on nitrogen-free medium. rates obtained in isolates were in the range of 12.1 to 326.4 nmol c(2)h(4) h(-1) vial(-1).nitrogen fixation and alginate production yielded significant and positive pearson's correlation coefficient of r(2) = 0.760, p ∼ 0.02. finally association between bacterial growth, alginate production and nitrogenase activity almost noticeable yielded significant and positive pearson's correlation coefficient r2= 0.723, p ∼ 0.04.

Correlation between nitrogen fixation rate and alginate productivity of an indigenous Azotobacter vinelandii from Iran

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Azotobacter vinelandii, a gamma-proteobacterium, is an obligate aerobic free-living gram-negative soil bacterium capable of fixing nitrogen. Oxygen transfer rate into the cell is reduced by the increase of alginate concentrations during the course of A. vinelandii cultivation. This phenomenon provides a low intracellular oxygen concentration needed for nitrogenase acti...

Nitrogen Fixation by Azotobacter vinelandii

Nitrogenase was isolated and purified from wildtype and a tungsten-resistant mutant (LM2) of Azotobacter vinelandii strain OP derepressed on medium containing 1-10 mM W. While the enzyme from the wild-type strain contained the polypeptides of the conventional enzyme, metal analysis of component 1 demonstrated the existence of one atom each of molybdenum and tungsten. Furthermore, the ESR spectr...

Evidence for an alternative nitrogen fixation system in Azotobacter vinelandii.

Two Azotobacter vinelandii strains capable of growing on N2(Nif+) were isolated from two different mutant strains that lacked dinitrogenase activity (Nif-). Extracts of N2-grown cells of the two Nif+ strains lacked significant amounts of the "conventional" dinitrogenase protein subunits, as determined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Instead, the extracts contained at least four new prot...

Production of polyhydroxybutyrate and alginate from glycerol by Azotobacter vinelandii under nitrogen-free conditions.

Glycerol is an interesting feedstock for biomaterials such as biofuels and bioplastics because of its abundance as a by-product during biodiesel production. Here we demonstrate glycerol metabolism in the nitrogen-fixing species Azotobacter vinelandii through metabolomics and nitrogen-free bacterial production of biopolymers, such as poly-d-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and alginate, from glycerol. Gl...

Regulation of nitrogen fixation in Azotobacter vinelandii OP and in an apparently partially constitutive mutant.

Methylamine and 2-methylalanine appeared to act as co-repressors of nitrogenase in Azotobacter vinelandii OP. They inhibited the growth of this organism on molecular nitrogen but not on nitrate, ammonia, or Casamino Acids; they prevented the formation of nitrogenase by cells transferred from repression to induction conditions; and they did not inhibit the activity of nitrogenase in vitro. A mut...

Oxidative activity and nitrogen fixation in cell-free preparations from Azotobacter vinelandii.

Ammonia is generally conceded to be the "key intermediate" in biological nitrogen fixation-that is, the compound which reacts to form the first stable organic compound, glutamic acid (Wilson and Burris, 1953). However, there is virtually no information concerning the reactions functioning in the conversion of N2 to ammonia. Reproducible nitrogen fixation by a cell-free preparation from bacteria...
