E, EcoRI; X, XbaI; S, SpeI; P, PstI; (B) relative nitrogenase activity of wild-type K. pneumoniae M5a1, K. pneumoniae UNF921 (pRD1), E. coli JM109 (pKU7017), and E. coli JM109 (pACYC184). Plasmid pKU7017 refers to the plasmid containing the reconstituted σ54-dependent nif system and pACYC184 was used as a negative control. Each experiment was repeated at least three times, and the error bars represent standard error.
