• Models of Biological Nitrogen Fixation of Legumes (2011, background): “The ability to fix atmospheric N comes from the symbiotic relationship between legumes and rhizobia, bacteria in soil, through which the legume supplies energy and carbon (C) to rhizobia through the products of photosynthesis, and rhizobia provides the legume with N, mainly in the form of ammonium (”

(2013, background): “In addition reduced ferredoxin acts as electron donor for nitrogen fixation [20], activation of (R)-2-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratases [21], and reduction of benzoyl-CoA by the ATP-dependent [22] and independent enzyme systems (see Section 2.”
