A quantitative analysis of the direct and indirect costs of nitrogen fixation: a model based on Azotobacter vinelandii

Nitrogen fixation is advantageous in microbial competition when bioavailable nitrogen is scarce, but has substantial costs for growth rate and growth efficiency. To quantify these costs, we have developed a model of a nitrogen-fixing bacterium that constrains mass, electron and energy flow at the sc...
