| Abstract |
The hemoglobin from the bacterium Vitreoscilla (VHb) is the first microbial hemoglobin that was conclusively identified as such (in 1986). It has been extensively studied with respect to its ligand binding properties and mechanisms, structure, biochemical functions, and the mechanisms by which its expression is controlled. In addition, cloning of its gene (vgb) into a variety of heterologous hosts has proved that its expression results substantial increases in production of a variety of useful products and ability to degrade potentially harmful compounds. Recent studies (since 2005) have added significant knowledge to all of these areas and shown the broad range of biotechnological applications in which VHb can have a positive effect. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 June 2013.
All research outputs
#8,533,995
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Biotechnology Techniques
#827
of 2,762 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#45,805
of 122,996 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biotechnology Techniques
#6
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,762 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 122,996 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
