We isolated thermophilic fermentative bacterium belonging to the genus Caldicellulosiruptor. The isolate demonstrated nitrogenase activity at 70ºC despite of harboring imcomplete nif gene sets (lacking NifN).

In 3rd paper, nitrogenase activity in the isolates belonging to the Aquificae phylum was detected. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of active nitrogen fixation in thermophilic bacteria at 70°C and in the phylum Aquificae.
