Abstract:

The studies presented in this thesis include studies of nucleotide-dependent conformations of the electron donor protein in nitrogenase and dark-operative protochlorophyllide reductase (DPOR) characterized using small-angle x-ray scattering and x-ray diffraction methods. Nitrogen fixation and chlorophyll synthesis are involved in the reduction of high energy bonds under physiological conditions. Both make use of elegant reaction mechanisms made possible by complex enzyme systems which are evolutionarily related. Nitrogenase reduces nitrogen to ammonia and is a two-component metalloenzyme compo

Abstract:

Nitrogen is a critical nutrient for growth and reproduction in living organisms. Although the Earth’s atmosphere is composed of ~80% nitrogen gas (N2), it is inaccessible to most living organisms in that form. Biological nitrogen fixation, however, can be performed by microbes that harbor the enzyme nitrogenase. This enzyme converts N2 into bioavailable ammonia (NH3) and accounts for at least half of the “fixed”nitrogen on the planet. The other major contributor to ammonia production is the industrial Haber-Bosch process. While the Haber-Bosch process has made significant advances in sustainin

At O kg N ha$ sp{-1}$, N$ sb2$-fixation and N transfer were estimated by the $ sp{15}$N isotope dilution (ID) method. At 60 kg N ha$ sp{-1}$, a direct $ sp{15}$N labelling method was employed to study N transfer. The hypotheses were that the annual species would be more productive within one growing season than red clover, that increased N levels would increase herbage dry matter (DM)

Abstract:

Biogeochemical processes in the marine biosphere are important in global element cycling and greatly influence the gas composition of the Earth’s atmosphere. The nitrogen cycle is a key component of marine biogeochemical cycles. Nitrogen is an essential constituent of living organisms, but bioavailable nitrogen is often short in supply thus limiting primary production. The largest input of nitrogen to the marine environment is by N2-fixation, the transformation of inert N2 gas into bioavailable ammonium by a distinct group of microbes. Hence, N2-fixation bypasses nitrogen limitation and stimul

Abstract:

While bacterioplankton indisputably control vital biogeochemical paths in the cycling of carbon and nutrients in the world’s oceans, our knowledge about the functional and genetic diversity of bacterioplankton communities is negligible. In this thesis, molecular and more traditional microbiological methods were used to study the specific function of N2-fixation and in a general sense diversity of marine bacterioplankton species. Most oceans are nitrogen limited and, therefore, adaptive to bacterioplankton capable of N2-fixation. Recent studies have found nifH genes (coding for the nitrogenase

The ANOVA test revealed that there are real accessions (P = 0.01) and strains (P = 0.05) differences.

The uptake systems for nitrate and nitrite were fully active and ammonium-repressible in N<SUB>2</SUB>-fixing cultures. Nitrite uptake was mediated via two pH-dependent systems: passive diffusion of HNO<SUB>2</SUB> and active transport of nitrite. Nitrate uptake was highly light-dependent. Ammonium was also transported by passive diffusion of ammonia and active uptake of ammonium, depending on the pH of the medium.

Rhizobia are soil-dwelling bacteria capable of infecting legume roots and forming a symbiotic association. Inside root nodules, low O2 levels trigger expression of the nitrogenase enzyme complex in rhizobia, allowing them to fix atmospheric N2 into NH3, and secrete this reduced nitrogen source to the host plant. Rhizobial N2 fixation is activated via the transcriptional regulator NifA, which is itself induced by low O2 concentration in legume root nodules, most commonly via the two-component sensor-regulator FixLJ or a modified version of this regulon.

Abstract:

Pterocarpus indicus is a promising tropical woody legume for the establishment of forest plantations in Malaysia. Woody legumes that form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria also play an important role for forest restoration on degraded land. Although P. indicus has been widely planted as an amenity tree in SE Asia, its silvicultural requirements have not been determined. There are no recommendations for fertilizer or for inoculation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This thesis explores the phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) requirements of seedlings and identifies a range of nitr

Abstract:

The responses of two cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) cultivars inoculated with granular inoculum (a mixture of rhizobia) at different levels of applied nitrogen were evaluated. California Blackeye 5 (Ca5) and Knuckle Purple Hull (KPH) cowpeas were examined under field conditions for percent nodulation, nodule number, and nodule mass per plant, and nitrogenase activity at various times during the 1983 and 1984 growing seasons. Data were also obtained for shoot and root dry weights, seed yield, and protein content. Significant differences between inoculated and uninoculated plots were foun
