Abstract

It is believed that nitrogen-fixing eukaryotes do not exist in nature, and constructing such eukaryotes is extremely challenging. Coale et al., however, have identified the first eukaryote capable of fixing nitrogen through a nitroplast organelle. Understanding the eukaryotic nitrogen-fixing machinery may advance the development of artificial nitrogen-fixing crops and industrial yeasts.

硝基酵母建议创造人工固氮真核生物。

人们认为自然界中不存在固氮真核生物，而构建这样的真核生物也极具挑战性。然而，Coale 等人发现了第一个能够通过硝化细胞器固氮的真核生物。了解真核生物的固氮机制可能会推动人工固氮作物和工业酵母的发展。

期刊介绍： Trends in Biotechnology publishes reviews and perspectives on the applied biological sciences, focusing on useful science applied to, derived from, or inspired by living systems. The major themes that TIBTECH is interested in include: Bioprocessing (biochemical engineering, applied enzymology, industrial biotechnology, biofuels, metabolic engineering) Omics (genome editing, single-cell technologies, bioinformatics, synthetic biology) Materials and devices (bionanotechnology, biomaterials, diagnostics/imaging/detection, soft robotics, biosensors/bioelectronics) Therapeutics (biofabrication, stem cells, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, antibodies and other protein drugs, drug delivery) Agroenvironment (environmental engineering, bioremediation, genetically modified crops, sustainable development).
