Study on molecular interaction between NifA and NifL of Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501 by using the yeast two-hybrid system

Pseudomonas stutzeri AI501 (formerly Alcaligenes faecalis A1501), which was isolated from rice paddies in South China in 1980, can colonize tightly on rhizoplane of the host plants or invade the roots of plants for growth and nitrogen fixation. But A1501 can fix nitrogen only under the micro-aerobic and nitrogen-free conditions. The oxygen concentration and the availability of fixed nitrogen are therefore important factors in the regulation of nitrogenase biosynthesis of associative nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
