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...
We sequenced the nitrogen fixation regulatory gene nfrX from Azotobacter vinelandii, mutations in which cause a Nif- phenotype, and found that it encodes a 105-kDa protein (NfrX), the N terminus of which is highly homologous to that of the uridylyltransferase-uridylyl-removing enzyme encoded by glnD in Escherichia coli. In vivo complementation experiments demonstrate that the glnD and nfrX prod...
A mixture of five saturated 5-n-alkylresorcinol homologues was isolated from vegetative cells of the nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum Az12. Their structures were established by spectrometry (1H NMR, EI-MS, FAB-MS, FAB-MS/MS) and chromatography (GC, TLC) means.
The Azotobacter vinelandii NifL protein is a redox-sensing flavoprotein which inhibits the activity of the nitrogen-specific transcriptional activator NifA. The N-terminal PAS domain has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystal belongs to the rhombohedral space group R32, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 65.0, c = 157.3 A,...
Complex formation between Azotobacter vinelandii flavodoxin and horse cytochrome c has been demonstrated through cross-linking studies with dimethyl suberimidate, dimethyl adipimidate, 1-ethyl-3-(3-di-methylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, and dimethyl-3,3'-dithiobispropionimidate. Essentially quantitative cross-linking of cytochrome c and flavodoxin was observed at low ionic strengths with the carbod...
Investigations with the isotopic tracer N16 have furnished definite evidence that ammonia is the key intermediate in nitrogen fixation by Azotobacter vinelundii (1). Direct isolation of the intermediate, however, has not been possible, apparently because ammonia is used so rapidly by this bacterium that it does not accumulate. In a study of the comparative biochemistry of nitrogen fixation, we ...
An earlier report (1) dealing with the distribution of isotopic nitrogen in cells of Axotobacter vinelandii fixing molecular nitrogen provided evidence that ammonia might be the initial stable form of nitrogen in the fixation process. This conclusion was based on the observation that the N’s supplied this organism accumulated in the glutamic acid fraction, as had been already observed in higher...
Growth and utilization of different phenolic acids present in olive mill wastewater (OMW) by Azotobacter chroococcum were studied in chemically defined media. Growth and utilization of phenolic acids were only detected when the microorganism was cultured on p-hydroxybenzoic acid at concentration from 0.01% to 0.5% (w/v) and protocatechuic acid at concentration from 0.01% to 0.3% (w/v) as sole c...
Biological N2 fixation, the reduction of N2 to NH 3 , is catalyzed by the enzyme nitrogenase . Fractionation studies of nitrogenases from a variety of organisms have shown that all are composed of two similar proteins, one contains Mo and Fe and is called the Mo-Fe protein and the other contains only Fe and is called the Fe protein . Recently homogeneous preparations of these proteins from Azot...
Azotobacter vinelandii ferredoxin I is a small protein that contains one [4Fe-4S] cluster and one [3Fe-4S] cluster. Recently the x-ray crystal structure has been redetermined and the fdxA gene, which encodes the protein, has been cloned and sequenced. Here we report the site-directed mutation of Cys-20, which is a ligand of the [4Fe-4S] cluster in the native protein, to alanine and the characte...
