The electron transport system in nitrogen fixation by Azotobacter. II. Isolation and function of a new type of ferredoxin.
A new type of ferredoxin was isolated from Azotobacter vinelandii cells. The protein was able to replace the native chloroplast ferredoxin in the photoreduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) and functioned as a reductant for the Azotobacter nitrogenase.
