Title: The oxygen sensitivity of nitrogenase: a problem for biochemists and micro-organisms
Abstract: Nitrogenase is rapidly destroyed by oxygen, in vitro and in vivo, so nitrogen-fixing organisms face the problem of protecting their nitrogenase from inactivation by oxygen. The need to protect nitrogenase becomes particularly important in the cyanobacteria, which evolve oxygen photosynthetically.
