Not just an alternative nitrogenase: The Fe-nitrogenase system belongs to the NifA regulon in Rhodobacter capsulatus

ABSTRACT: The diazotrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus synthesizes a molybdenum nitrogenase and an alternative iron-only nitrogenase, enabling growth with molecular dinitrogen as sole nitrogen source. Regulation of nitrogen fixation was analyzed by proteome profiling of wild-type and mutant strains lacking the transcriptional regulators NifA, AnfA, and MopAB.
