Abstract excerpt
Tungsten resistant (Wr) mutants of Het+Nif+Nia+, Het+Nif-Nia+ and Het+Nif+Nia- strains of Nostoc muscorum were isolated with severely defective molybdate transport activity. All such mutants showed vanadium (V)-dependent nitrogenase activity and/or nitrate reductase activity and V-dependent growth on N2-nitrogen and/or NO3(-)-nitrogen and V-dependent NO3(-)-repression of heterocyst formation and nitrogenase...
