Molybdenum Limitation and Substitute Systems
The activity of the Mo-nitrogenase is directly proportional to the cellular concentration of molybdenum, an essential, albeit trace, element. When ambient Mo levels drop below a critical threshold, many diazotrophs repress Mo-nitrogenase synthesis and activate alternative enzyme systems [2].
