Genome annotation of the chlorinated ethene-respiring "Dehalococcoides ethenogenes" strain 195 indicated the presence of a complete nitrogenase operon. Here, results from long-term growth experiments, gene expression, and (15)N(2)-isotope measurements confirm that strain 195 is capable of fixing atmospheric dinitrogen when a defined fixed-nitrogen source such as ammonium is unavailable.
对氯代乙烯降解“Dehalococcoides ethenogenes”菌株 195 的基因组注释表明,该菌株存在完整的固氮酶操纵子。在此,通过长期生长实验、基因表达和(15)N2-同位素测量的结果证实,当不存在定义的固定氮源(如铵盐)时,菌株 195 能够固定大气中的氮气。
