Predicting cyanobacterial oxic diazotrophy and prioritizing candidate protein families beyond known Nif proteins
Diazotrophic cyanobacteria must reconcile oxygenic photosynthesis with the oxygen sensitivity of nitrogenase. Engineering studies have demonstrated nitrogenase activity in a non-diazotrophic cyanobacterium while highlighting the importance of accessory functions and oxygen management. Robust aerobic nitrogen fixation remains challenging, motivating systematic identification of candidate support…
