Our laboratory has selected the nitrogen-fixing model microbe Azotobacter vinelandii as a primary target for the production of biofertilizers and other interesting products, including lipids and biohydrogen. As part of this work, we have generated a large number of mutant strains that have interesting potential research and biotechnological applications. Some of these strains are listed below;
- AZBB072 ΔpyrF
- AZBB120 ΔureABC ΔamtB
- AZBB131 ΔphbBAC
- AZBB133 ΔvnfHDGK ΔanfHDGK ΔnifHDK
- AZBB163 nifL::KanR (pPCRNH3-44)
- AZBB261 ΔvnfHDGK ΔanfHDGK ΔhoxN1IN2YHW ΔhoxKGZMLOQRTV
- AZBB275 ΔvnfHDGK ΔanfHDGK ΔhoxN1IN2YHW ΔhoxKGZMLOQRTV nifD::nifDV70I
