Nitrogenase is a metalloprotein complex that catalyses the reaction of biological nitrogen fixation. At least three genetically distinct nitrogenase systems have been confirmed in diazotrophs, namely Nil, Vnf, and Anf...
In rice field, especially in the fertilized field the combined nitrogen content is rather high. It is well known that the nitrogen compounds, particularly NH4^+ inhibits the nitrogenase activity- of diazotrophs. So, t...
