Denitrification, acetylene reduction, and methane metabolism in lake sediment exposed to acetylene.
Samples of sediment from Lake St. George, Ontario, Canada, were incubated in the laboratory under an initially aerobic gas phase and under anaerobic conditions. In the absence of added nitrate (NO(3)) there was O(2)-dependent production of nitrous oxide (N(2)O), which was inhibited by acetylene (C(2)H(2)) and by nitrapyrin, suggesting that coupled nitrification-denitrification was responsible. ...
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 کاملNitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) by epiphytes of freshwater macrophytes.
The involvement of epiphytic microorganisms in nitrogen fixation was investigated in a shallow freshwater pond near Ithaca, N.Y. The acetylene reduction technique was used to follow diel and seasonal cycles of nitrogen fixation by epiphytes of Myriophyllum spicatum. Acetylene-reducing activity was maximal between noon and 6 p.m., but substantial levels of activity relative to daytime rates cont...
متن کاملAcetylene reduction (dinitrogen fixation) by clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Freshly isolated clinical strains of Klebsiella were tested for the ability to fix dinitrogen by the acetylene reduction assay. Ability to detect this trait was markedly affected by cultural conditions. When the test was run at 37 degrees C in the presence of yeast extract (50 mg/liter), only 1.6% of the organisms were diazotrophs, whereas this temperature without yeast extract yielded 12.9% po...
متن کاملAcetylene reduction (nitrogen fixation) and metabolic activities of soybean having various leaf and nodule water potentials.
An apparatus was designed that permitted acetylene reduction (N(2) fixation) by root nodules to be measured in situ simultaneously with net photosynthesis, dark respiration, and transpiration of the shoot in soybean plants (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Beeson). Tests showed that acetylene reduction was linear with time for at least 5 hours, except for the first 30 to 60 minutes. Endogenous ethyl...
