A Survey of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation by Rhizobia

  • Chapter
The Rhizobiaceae

Abstract

Nitrogen fixation, that is reduction of nitrogen gas into ammonia, is not restricted to rhizobia. In fact, this property, although unique to prokaryotic organisms, is widely spread among the prokaryotic phylogenetic tree (Young, 1992). In addition, the properties of the enzymatic complex which allows the saturation of the very stable triple bond of dinitrogen are remarkably conserved. A. recent illustration has been provided by the resolution of the three dimensional structure of the two components of the nitrogenase complex in as different organisms as Azotobacter vinelandii and Clostridium pasteurianum (reviewed in Smith et al., 1995).
