Line 19:
</ref> Leghemoglobin maintains a free oxygen concentration that is low enough to allow nitrogenase to function, but a high enough total oxygen concentration (free and bound to leghemoglobin) for aerobic respiration.
 
Leghemoglobin falls into the class of '''symbiotic globins''', which also include the root nodules globins of [[actinorhizal plant]]s such as ''[[Casuarina]]''. The ''Casuarina'' symbiotic globin is intermediate between leghemoglobin and nonsymbiotic phytoglobin-2.<ref name="Becanaphytoglobin" /><ref name="Hill16">{{cite journal|authors=Hill R., Hargrove M.
