Phylogeny of Nitrogenase Structural and Assembly Components Reveals New Insights into the Origin and Distribution of Nitrogen Fixation across Bacteria and Archaea

The phylogeny of nitrogenase has only been analyzed using the structural proteins NifHDK. As <i>nifHDKENB</i> has been established as the minimum number of genes necessary for in silico prediction of diazotrophy, we present an updated phylogeny of diazotrophs using both structural (NifHD...
