Background The metabolic capacity for nitrogen fixation is known to be present in several
prokaryotic species scattered across taxonomic groups. Experimental detection of nitrogen …

As photosynthetic microorganisms, cyanobacteria play a dominant part in numerous
ecological systems owing to their ability to fix carbon and nitrogen and are therefore an …

Biological nitrogen fixation is an inherent trait exclusive to a select number of prokaryotes.
Although molybdenum nitrogenase is the dominant catalyst for dinitrogen reduction, some …

Engineering nitrogenase in eukaryotes is hampered by its genetic complexity and by the
oxygen sensitivity of its protein components. Of the three types of nitrogenases, the Fe‐only …

As inorganic nitrogen compounds are essential for basic building blocks of life (eg,
nucleotides and amino acids), the role of biological nitrogen-fixation (BNF) is indispensible …

Mine tailings are man-made environments characterized by low levels of organic carbon
and assimilable nitrogen, as well as moderate concentrations of heavy metals. For the …

The biological reduction of nitrogen gas to ammonia is limited to a select group of nitrogen-
fixing prokaryotes. While nitrogenase is the catalyst of nitrogen fixation in these biological …

Understanding how mutualisms evolve in response to a changing environment will be
critical for predicting the long‐term impacts of global changes, such as increased N …

This study examined the biological activity and genome of Bacillus cereus CDHWZ7 isolated
from the root of Lycium ruthenicum in the Dachaidan saline area, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai …

Iron-sulfur clusters ([Fe-S]) clusters are inorganic prosthetic groups that participate in many
essential life processes. Despite their relatively simple structures, the biological assembly of …
