Abstract excerpt
In the diazotroph Klebsiella pneumoniae, NifL and NifA regulate transcription of the nitrogen fixation genes in response to molecular oxygen and combined nitrogen. We recently showed that Fnr is the primary oxygen sensor. Fnr transduces the oxygen signal towards the negative regulator NifL by activating genes whose products reduce the FAD moiety of NifL under anoxic conditions. These Fnr-dependent gene products...
