The NITROHOP project investigates the role of hopanoids in nitrogen fixation by marine cyanobacteria in oxygen-rich environments. It aims to understand how these lipids help maintain membrane integrity and support nitrogenase activity.
The bioavailability of nitrogen (N) is critical for phytoplankton growth, affecting global primary production and CO2 sequestration.
Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation, catalysed by the enzyme nitrogenase, converts N2 into bioavailable forms like ammonia.
This process is strictly anaerobic, as nitrogenase is inactivated by oxygen (O2).
Cyanobacteria, the primary oceanic N2 fixers, face the challenge of conducting both oxygenic photosynthesis and N2 fixation in an oxic environment.
To overcome t…
