Mutant of Azotobacter vinelandii that hyperproduces nitrogenase component II

V K Shah et al. J Bacteriol. 1974 Feb.

Abstract

A mutant strain of Azotobacter vinelandii that is unable to fix N(2) produces high levels of nitrogenase component II. Activities of revertants from this mutant strain indicate that a single genetic lesion is responsible for both hyperproduction of component II and the inability to produce component I.
