<br />
''Azotobacter chroococcum<br /> Azotobacter vinelandii <br />''<br /><br />
<br />
==Description and Significance==<br />
<br />
''Azotobacter'' is a genus of free-living diazotrophic bacteria whose resting stage is a cyst. It is primarily found in neutral to alkaline soils, in aquatic environments, and on some plants. It has several metabolic capabilties, including atmospheric nitrogen fixation by conversion to ammonia. Their unique system of three distinct nitrogenase enzymes makes these bacteria of particular interest to scientists, who may work toward a better understanding of nitrogen fixation and its role in agriculture. ''Azotobacter ''spp. have the highest metabolic rate of any organisms.<br />
<br />
==Genome Structure==<br />
Azotobacters, interestingly, contain more DNA than most other bacteria, but their genome size is typical of most prokaryotes. The reason for this above average amount of DNA is not known, but it is possibly because the cells of ''Azotobacter'' are larger than those of other bacteria. The DNA of ''Azotobacter'' spp. display many similarities, in terms of gene type and recognition factors, to the DNA of ''Escherichia coli''. Genetic information can be transferred between azotobacters or to other bacteria by way of conjugation or transformation. For NCBI's GenBank entry for ''Azotobacter'''s unfinished sequence, click [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/framik.cgi?db=genome&gi=5124 here].<br />

==Cell Structure and Metabolism==<br />
<br />
[[Image:NCYCLE.gif|frame|[http://www.nies.go.jp/biology/mcc/strainlist_a.htm Anabaena]Image from [http://www.nies.go.jp/biology/mcc/strainlist_a.htm#Anabaena Reference to source of image]]]<br />
Azotobacters have generated a good deal of interest in the scientific community because of their unique mode of metabolism, by which they can fix nitrogen aerobically. The cells' uniquely high respiration rates allow the normally oxygen-sensitive nitrogenase to experience limited oxygen exposure. ''Azotobacter ''is also capable of producing a protein which protects the nitrogenase from sudden oxygen-provoked stress. Another individualistic trait of ''Azotobacter ''is their ability to synthesize not just one, but three nitrogenases. Specific genes are used to synthesize each nitrogenase. ''Azotobacter'''s cells are large rods, at least 2 microns in diameter. They can live singly, in chains, or in clumps, and may or may not be mobile by flagella. Their resting stage is spent as a thick-walled cyst, which protects the organism from harsh climates.<br />
<br />
==Ecology==<br />
<br />
Diazotrophic organisms such as ''Azotobacter'' play a vital role in every ecosystem, working to make nitrogen available to all organisms. Azotobacters and similar bacteria turn nitrogen into ammonia through the process of nitrogen fixation, after which the ammonia is turned into proteins. Nitrogen fixation is used in agriculture in relation to crop rotation and fertilization; soil-dwelling diazotrophs such as ''Azotobacter ''are especially useful in gauging the health and virility of the ground. Azotobacters are found worldwide, in climates ranging from extremely northern Siberia to Egypt and India. <br />
