Amazon powers Atlantic Ocean's carbon sink: study by AFP / AFP Global Edition Studies on the soil bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii indicate that it yields hydrogen as a by-product of nitrogen fixation; and its characteristics such as high respiratory rates, the ability of expressing anaerobic proteins, and lower growth requirements project the possibility of bridging the diazotroph and hydrogenase.
