Accessory Proteins of the Nitrogenase Assembly, NifW, NifX/NafY, and NifZ, Are Essential for Diazotrophic Growth in the Nonheterocystous Cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya boryana

Accessory Proteins of the Nitrogenase Assembly, NifW, NifX/NafY, and NifZ, Are Essential for Diazotrophic Growth in the Nonheterocystous Cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya boryana

Since nitrogenase is extremely vulnerable to oxygen, aerobic or micro-aerobic nitrogen-fixing organisms need to create anaerobic microenvironments in the cells for diazotrophic growth, which would be one of the major barriers to express active nitrogenase in plants in efforts to create nitrogen-fixi...
