Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation supplies nitrogen to the oceans, supporting primary
productivity, and is carried out by some bacteria and archaea referred to as diazotrophs …

The marine bacterium Vibrio natriegens is the fastest‐growing non‐pathogenic bacterium
known to date and is gaining more and more attention as an alternative chassis organism to …

Developing cost-efficient biotechnological processes is a major challenge in replacing fossil-
based industrial production processes. The remarkable progress in genetic engineering …

ABSTRACT Dinitrogen (N2)-fixing microorganisms (diazotrophs) play important roles in
ocean biogeochemistry and plankton productivity. In this study, we examined the presence …

The prevalence of the two-chromosome configuration was investigated in 34 species of
vibrios and closely related species. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of undigested genomic …

Molecular surveys of bacterioplankton communities in coastal regions and open oceans
have yielded similar 16S rRNA sequences, although coastal sites can differ significantly …

The fast-growing microbe Vibrio natriegens is capable of natural transformation where it
draws DNA in from media via an active process under physiological conditions. Using an …

Oceans cover 71% of Earth's surface and are home to hundreds of thousands of species,
many of which are microbial. Knowledge about marine microbes has strongly increased in …

N2 fixation by planktonic heterotrophic diazotrophs is more wide spread than previously
thought, including environments considered “unfavorable” for diazotrophy. These …

The microbially influenced corrosion of stainless steel (SS) by marine bacterium Vibrio
natriegens (V. natriegens) was investigated using surface analysis (atomic force microscopy …
