Abstract excerpt
Azotobacter vinelandii DJ71, which contains a mutation in the nifV gene, was derepressed for nitrogenase in the presence of homocitrate. When dinitrogenase was isolated from this culture, it was found to be identical to the wild-type dinitrogenase. However, when the same NifV- strain was derepres...
