Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation.
Biosphere nitrogen is subjected to rapid turnover, and because it is eventually lost as nitrogen into the atmosphere, its maintenance requires continuous replenishment with reduced nitrogen from atmospheric nitrogen. Biological reduction of nitrogen to ammonia can be performed only by some prokaryotes and is a highly oxygen-sensitive process. The most efficient nitrogen fixers establish a symbi...
متن کاملFnrN controls symbiotic nitrogen fixation and hydrogenase activities in Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae UPM791.
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae UPM791 contains a second copy of the fnrN gene, which encodes a redox-sensitive transcriptional activator functionally homologous to Escherichia coli Fnr. This second copy (fnrN2) is located in the symbiotic plasmid, while fnrN1 is in the chromosome. Isolation and sequencing of the fnrN2 gene revealed that the deduced amino acid sequence of FnrN2 is 87.5% iden...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
Although most organisms, including all eucaryotes, cannot assimilate atmospheric dinitrogen (N2), a group of evolutionarily divergent procaryotes are able to reduce N2 directly to ammonia (nitrogen fixation) under a variety of physiological conditions. The molecular genetics of nitrogen fixation has been studied primarily in Klebsiella pneumoniae because of its close taxonomic relation to Esche...
متن کاملOntogenetic Interactions between Photosynthesis and Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Legumes.
Photosynthetic data collected from Pisum sativum L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L. plants at different stages of development were related to symbiotic N(2) fixation in the root nodules. The net carbon exchange rate of each leaf varied directly with carboxylation efficiency and inversely with the CO(2) compensation point. Net carbon exchange of the lowest leaves reputed to supply fixed carbon to root...
