Hopanoid lipids may facilitate aerobic nitrogen fixation in the ocean

Cyanobacterial diazotrophs are considered to be the most important source of fixed N(2) in the open ocean. Biological N(2) fixation is catalyzed by the extremely O(2)-sensitive nitrogenase enzyme. In cyanobacteria without specialized N(2)-fixing cells (heterocysts), mechanisms such as decoupling pho...
