Can purple sulfur bacteria fix nitrogen?
Purple sulfur and purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB) have nitrogen-fixing ability in the light and can grow using nitrogen gas as the sole nitrogen source [7,8]. In these bacterial groups, activity of nitrogenase that catalyzes nitrogen fixation is highly regulated by light, oxygen, and ammonia [9,10].Dec 24, 2021
