Thermoresistant Nitrogenase Challenges Haber-Bosch Process at 400°C
agrifood-value-chainResearch by the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology has identified a nitrogenase in a deep-sea microorganism capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia at temperatures up to 400°C, challenging the Haber-Bosch process. This enzyme's thermal stability could disrupt the global agrifood value chain, where energy costs heavily impact producers' gross margins.
