Nitrogen dioxide fixation in bacterial chromatin studies.
Eller, Charles (St. John's University, Jamaica, N.Y.), and William H. Beckert. Nitrogen dioxide fixation in bacterial chromatin studies. J. Bacteriol. 90:1710-1712. 1965.-Satisfactory chromatin staining was obtained with two Bacillus species when nitrogen dioxide was used for fixation in conjunction with either the acid Giemsa or Feulgen staining methods. An impression method was employed for t...
متن کاملMechanism of Biological Nitrogen Fixation X. Hydrogenase in Cell-free Extracts and Intact Cells of Azotobacter*
The discovery of hydrogenase in Azotobacter cells (1) raises the question of its function in the metabolism of this organism. This enzyme is usually found in anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria which liberate Hz from certain substrates. Azotobacter is a strict aerobe, and its metabolism consists primarily in the simple oxidation of substrate to carbon dioxide and water. Although not con...
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 کاملGrowth, nitrogen fixation, and spectral attenuation in cultivated trichodesmium species.
Physiological studies of Trichodesmium species have been hindered by difficulties in maintaining actively growing, nitrogen-fixing cultures. Previous cultivation successes have not been widely duplicated. We present here a simple modified seawater medium and handling techniques which have been used to maintain actively growing Trichodesmium thiebautii in laboratory culture for over 1 year. The ...
متن کاملA Novel Endo-Hydrogenase Activity Recycles Hydrogen Produced by Nitrogen Fixation
BACKGROUND Nitrogen (N(2)) fixation also yields hydrogen (H(2)) at 1:1 stoichiometric amounts. In aerobic diazotrophic (able to grow on N(2) as sole N-source) bacteria, orthodox respiratory hupSL-encoded hydrogenase activity, associated with the cell membrane but facing the periplasm (exo-hydrogenase), has nevertheless been presumed responsible for recycling such endogenous hydrogen. METHODS ...
