Time course of acetylene reduction in nodules of five actinorhizal genera.
The rate of acetylene reduction was measured as a function of time after addition of 10% acetylene in Alnus, Casuarina, Ceanothus, Datisca, and Myrica. The maximum rate occurred after 45 to 60 seconds and was maintained for an additional 0.5 to 4 minutes before a decline in rate to 30 to 90% of the maximum. The rate then recovered to a value of 63 to 98% of the maximum. Removal of the shoot and...
متن کاملAnalysis of acetylene reduction rates of soybean nodules at low acetylene concentrations.
It has been previously proposed that acetylene reduction data at subsaturating acetylene concentrations could be interpreted by use of the Michaelis-Menten equation, based on the acetylene concentration external to the nodules. One difficulty of this view is that the assumption that the system is not diffusion limited is violated when studying intact nodules. The presence of a gas diffusion bar...
متن کاملAcetylene inhibition of Azotobacter vinelandii hydrogenase: acetylene binds tightly to the large subunit.
Acetylene is a slow-binding inhibitor of the Ni- and Fe-containing dimeric hydrogenase isolated from Azotobacter vinelandii. Acetylene was released from hydrogenase during the recovery from inhibition. This indicates that no transformation of acetylene to another compound occurred as a result of the interaction with hydrogenase. However, the release of C2H2 proceeds more rapidly than the recove...
متن کاملThe Relationship between H(2) Evolution and Acetylene Reduction in Pisum sativum-Rhizobium leguminosarum Symbioses Differing in Uptake Hydrogenase Activity.
Peas (Pisum sativum L.) were inoculated with strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum having different levels of uptake hydrogenase (Hup) activity and were grown in sterile Leonard jars under controlled conditions. Rates of H(2) evolution and acetylene reduction were determined for intact nodulated roots at intervals after the onset of darkness or after removal of the shoots. Hup activity was estimat...
