Unraveling the molecular mechanisms of nitrogenase conformational protection against oxygen in diazotrophic bacteria
BACKGROUND: G. diazotrophicus and A. vinelandii are aerobic nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Although oxygen is essential for the survival of these organisms, it irreversibly inhibits nitrogenase, the complex responsible for nitrogen fixation. Both microorganisms deal with this paradox through compensatory...
