Characterisation of oxygen regulation mechanisms in Rhizobium leguminosarum for repurposing as tools in the engineering of nitrogen fixation
<p>Rhizobia are alpha- and beta�-proteobacteria that form a symbiotic partnership with legumes, fixing atmospheric dinitrogen to ammonia and providing it to the plant. Fixation is performed by an oxygen-intolerant nitrogenase enzyme but requires respiration to meet its high energy demands. To...
