  2. 1. Cyanobacterial Hydrogen Metabolism - Uptake Hydrogenase and Hydrogen Production by Nitrogenase in Filamentous Cyanobacteria

    Author : Pia Lindberg; Peter Lindblad; Kornél Kovács; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; cyanobacteria; biohydrogen; Nostoc; hydrogen production; hydrogen evolution; hydrogen metabolism; nitrogenase; hydrogenase; hydrogen; uptake hydrogenase; hupSL; hydrogen uptake mutant; uptake hydrogenase mutant; photobioreactor; hydrogenase accessory genes; hyp; transcription; RT-PCR; NtcA; mass spectrometry; heterocyst; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; immunology; infectious diseases; Mikrobiologi; immunologi; infektionssjukdomar;

    Abstract : Molecular hydrogen is a potential energy carrier for the future. Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria are a group of photosynthetic microorganisms with the inherent ability to produce molecular hydrogen via the enzyme complex nitrogenase. This hydrogen is not released, however, but is recaptured by the bacteria using an uptake hydrogenase. READ MORE

  4. 2. Computational Studies of Nitrogenase

    Author : Lili Cao; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nitrogenase; QM MM; quantum refinement; FeMo cluster; E4 state; N2 binding; V-nitrogenase; P-cluster; S2B dissociation; broken-symmetry state; homocitrate; DFT; protonation state; disorder; ComQumX-2QM;

    Abstract : AbstractNitrogenase is the only enzyme that can convert the inert nitrogen molecule to ammonia, so that it can be used for biomass production and in biosynthetic pathways. It contains a complicated acitve site, composed of eight metal ions, nine sulfur ions and one carbide ion (the FeMo cluster). READ MORE

  5. 3. Cyanobacteria in symbiosis with plants : Protein patterns and regulatory mechanisms

    Author : Martin Ekman; Birgitta Bergman; Dave G. Adams; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cyanobacteria; symbiosis; Nostoc; Gunnera; Azolla; nitrogenase; modification; heterotrophic; proteomics; unsequenced; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : Cyanobacteria belonging to the heterocystous genus Nostoc, capable of oxygenic photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation via the enzyme nitrogenase, may form symbiotic associations with plants. In these associations most of the N2 fixed by the symbiotic cyanobacteria (cyanobiont) is transferred to the host, which in turn supplies the cyanobiont with fixed carbon. READ MORE

  6. 4. Computational protein crystallography : How to get the most out of your data

    Author : Justin Bergmann; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hirshfeld atom refinement HAR ; ; quantum refinement; protein crystallography; X-ray crystallography; neutron crystallography; nitrogenase; acetylcholin esterase; triose isomerase;

    Abstract : It is important to obtain accurate three dimensional structures of molecules and proteins to understand and predict their function and behaviour. X-ray crystallography is the major technique to determine three dimensional structures of proteins. READ MORE

  7. 5. Distribution and activity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in marine and estuarine waters

    Author : Hanna Farnelid; Lasse Riemann; Jonathan Zehr; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 454-pyrosequencing; diazotrophs; heterotrophic bacteria; marine bacteria; marine microbial ecology; microbiology; nifH; nitrogenase; nitrogen fixation; PCR; qPCR; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : In aquatic environments the availability of nitrogen (N) generally limits primary production. N2-fixing prokaryotes (diazotrophs) can convert N2 gas into ammonium and provide significant input of N into the oceans. Cyanobacteria are thought to be the main N2-fixers but diazotrophs also include a wide range of heterotrophic bacteria. READ MORE
