Abstract:Background: Members of the phylum Aquificota were initially documented more than a century ago and play important roles in hydrogen, sulfur, and carbon cycles in geothermal systems as ubiquitous and abundant chemolithoautotrophs; however, their roles in the nitrogen cycle are not well defined.
Results: Here, we show that a novel Aquificaceae isolate from Tengchong, China, fixes nitrogen in pure culture and that nitrogen fixation (nif) genes are transcribed in situ. We propose the name Pampinifervens diazotroph… Show more
