Introduction of H2-Uptake Hydrogenase Genes Into Rhizobial Strains Improves Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Vicia sativa and Lotus corniculatus Forage Legumes

Biological nitrogen fixation by the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis allows the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia within root nodules mediated by the nitrogenase enzyme. Nitrogenase activity results in the evolution of hydrogen as a result of a side reaction intrinsic to the activity of this...
