Rhizobium sp. strain ORS571 conducts synergistic, free-living N2 fixation and nicotinate oxidation. Explicitly, ORS571 is able to fix N2 aerobically because 6-OH-nicotinate acts as an intracellular O2 sink. Because 6-OH-nicotinate oxidation is mandatory for aerobic, free-living N2 fixation and because the synergistic processes yield ammonium from substrates (as the nitrogen source for growth), ORS571 is not a diazotroph.
根瘤菌属菌株ORS571能进行协同的、自由生活状态下的固氮作用和烟酸盐氧化。具体而言,ORS571能够在有氧条件下固氮,因为6-羟基烟酸盐充当细胞内的氧气汇。由于6-羟基烟酸盐氧化对于有氧、自由生活状态下的固氮作用是必需的,并且由于协同过程从底物中产生铵(作为生长的氮源),所以ORS571不是固氮菌。
