Abstract excerpt
The photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus has, in addition to the Mo nitrogenase, a second Mo-independent nitrogen-fixing system, an 'iron-only' nitrogenase which is strongly repressed by molybdate. The MoO4(2-) concentration causing 50% repression of the alternative nitrogenase in nifH...
