Characterization of a spontaneous mutant of Azotobacter vinelandii in which vanadium-dependent nitrogen fixation is not inhibited by molybdenum

The ORF encoding a putative ferredoxin-l

The ORF encoding a putative ferredoxin-like protein downstream of the vnfH gene in Azotobacter vinelandii is involved in the vanadium-dependent alternative pathway of nitrogen fixation

An open reading frame (ORF) in the same operon as, but downstream of, vnfH in Azotobacter vinelandii can code for a ferredoxin-like protein. The role this ORF may play in the vnf (vanadium-dependent alternative) pathway of nitrogen fixation was investigated. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to alt
