Some nitrogen fixing organisms • Free living aerobic bacteria – Azotobacter – Beijerinckia – Klebsiella – Cyanobacteria (lichens) • Free living associative bacteria – Azospirillum • Free living anaerobic bacteria • Symbionts – Clostridium – Rhizobium (legumes) – Desulfovibrio – Frankia (alden trees) – Purple sulphur bacteria – Purple non-sulphur bacteria – Green sulphur bacteria KRT-2011 2

Nitrogen Fixation • Semua bacteria fiksasi nitrogen menggunakan conserved enzyme complex yang disebut Nitrogenase • Nitrogenase tersusun dari dua subunits: an iron -sulfur protein dan a molybdenum-iron-sulfur protein • Aerobic organisms face special challenges to nitrogen fixation karena nitrogenase inactivasi bila oxygen bereaksi dengan iron component of the proteins KRT-2011 6
Nitrogenase KRT-2011 7
Types of Biological Nitrogen Fixation Free-living (asymbiotic) • Cyanobacteria • Azotobacter Associative • Rhizosphere–Azospirillum • Lichens–cyanobacteria • Leaf nodules Symbiotic • Legume-rhizobia • Actinorhizal-Frankia KRT-2011 8
Examples of N 2 fixing plants Mesquite, Acacia, Palo Verde Symbionts are Rhizobium & Bradyrhizobium Lupines - Bradyrhizobium
Root nodules
Free-living N 2 Fixation Energy • 20 -120 g C used to fix 1 g N Combined Nitrogen • nif genes tightly regulated • Terhambat pada NH 4+ and NO 3 - rendah (1 μg g-1 soil, 300 μM) Oxygen • • • Menghindar (anaerobes) Microaerophilly Respiratory protection Specialized cells (heterocysts, vesicles) Spatial/temporal separation Conformational (=penyesuaian diri? ) protection KRT-2011 12

Frankia and Actinorhizal Plants • Actinomycetes (Gram +, filamentous); septate hyphae; spores in sporangia; thick-walled vesicles Frankia vesicles showing thick walls that confer protection from oxygen. Bars are 100 nm. KRT-2011 16
Alder and the other woody hosts of Frankia are typical pioneer species that invade nutrient-poor soils. These plants benefit from the nitrogenfixing association, while supplying the bacterial symbiont with photosynthetic products. KRT-2011 17
Actinorhizal Plant Hosts Family Genera Betulaceae Alnus Casuarinace Allocasuarina, Ceuthostoma, ae Gymnostoma Myricaceae Comptonia, Myrica Elaeagnacea Elaeagnus, Hippophaë, Shepherdia e Rhamnaceae Ceanothus, Colletia, Discaria, Kentrothamnus, Retanilla, Talguenea, Trevoa Rosaceae Cercocarpus, Chamaebatia, Cowania, Dryas, Purshia Coriariaceae Coriaria Datiscaceae Datisca KRT-2011 18
Legume-Rhizobium Symbiosis • The subfamilies of legumes (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, Papilionoideae), 700 genera, and 19, 700 species of legumes COnly about 15% of the species have been evaluated for nodulation CRhizobium CGram -, rod CMost studied symbiotic N 2 -fixing bacteria CNow subdivided into several genera CMany genes known that are involved in nodulation (nod, nol, noe genes) KRT-2011 19
Taxonomy of Rhizobia Genus Species Host plant Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii “ bv. viciae “ bv. phaseoli tropici etli Trifolium (clovers) Pisum (peas), Vicia (field beans), Lens (lentils), Lathyrus Phaseolus (bean), Leucaena Phaseolus (bean) Sinorhizobium meliloti fredii saheli teranga Melilotus (sweetclover), Medicago (alfalfa), Trigonella Glycine (soybean) Sesbania, Acacia Bradyrhizobium japonicum elkanii liaoningense Glycine (soybean) Azorhizobium caulinodans Sesbania (stem nodule) ‘Meso rhizobium’ loti huakuii ciceri tianshanense mediterraneum Lotus (trefoil) Astragalus (milkvetch) Cicer (chickpea) [Rhizobium] galegae Galega (goat’s rue), Leucaena Photorhizobium spp. KRT-2011 Cicer (chickpea) Aeschynomene (stem nodule) 20
Rhizobium Root Nodules The picture above shows a clover root nodule. Available from [Internet] KRT-2011 21
Rhizobium Root Nodules KRT-2011 22
A few legumes (such as Sesbania rostrata) have stem nodules as well as root nodules. Stem nodules (arrows) are capable of photosynthesis as well as nitrogen fixation. KRT-2011 23
