All diazotrophs studied to date contain Mo‐dependent nitrogenase; a subset also have V‐dependent and Fe‐only nitrogenases that are expressed under Mo‐deficient conditions. As the concentrations of V in soil are typically much higher than those of Mo, identifying species carrying alternative enzymes is of particular interest for applying diazotrophs as energy‐efficient natural fertilizers.
