Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen Fixation and Hydrogen Metabolism in Cyanobacteria
TL;DR: A likely better strategy is to exploit the use of radiant solar energy by the photosynthetic electron transport system to enhance the rates of H2 formation and so improve the chances of utilizing cyanobacteria as a source for the generation of clean energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular biological analysis of a bidirectional hydrogenase from cyanobacteria.
Oliver Schmitz,Gudrun Boison,Ralf Hilscher,B. Hundeshagen,Wolfgang Zimmer,Fnedrich Lottspeich,Hermann Bothe +6 more
TL;DR: An 8.9-kb segment with hydrogenase genes from the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis has been cloned and sequenced, corroborating the molecular biological demonstration of the NAD(P)(+)-dependent hydrogenase in cyanobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
HoxE—a subunit specific for the pentameric bidirectional hydrogenase complex (HoxEFUYH) of cyanobacteria
Oliver Schmitz,Gudrun Boison,Heike Salzmann,Hermann Bothe,Kathrin Schütz,Shu-hua Wang,Thomas Happe +6 more
TL;DR: Experimental evidence is presented for the first time experimental evidence that in cyanobacteria, a fifth subunit, HoxE, is part of this bidirectional hydrogenase, which exhibits sequence identities to NuoE of respiratory complex I of Escherichia coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative abundance of denitrifying and dinitrogen-fixing bacteria in layers of a forest soil
TL;DR: The densitometrical comparison of band intensities obtained in these Southern hybridizations indicated that the highest number of total bacteria, of denitrifying and N(2)-fixing microorganisms always occurred in the upper soil layer, as well as the data obtained by hybridizing isolated soil DNA generally matched previous results obtained with culturable bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza by biochemical parameters
TL;DR: Comparing three different biochemical parameters (yellow pigment, chitin, sterols) to quantify vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza shows that quantifying the campesterol and 24-methylenecholesterol content by gas chromatographic analysis appears to be the method of choice to assess myCorrhizal colonization.
