Analysis 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...

Cell-free extracts of Clostridiiumii p(lste'rtr'i lm il (8) aind( of A2otoboctcr viiell(tlfdii (2) in the presence of an ATP generating system alndI anl appropriate electron donior, catalvze the redcuction of N. gas to ammonia. In recent investigations (3,4, 9) of the properties of nitrogenase from these organiisms, it has been established that the enzyme system is non-specific for electron acc...
متن کاملAn electron donor system for nitrogenase-dependent acetylene reduction by extracts of soybean nodules.
The catalysis of nitrogen reduction by extracts of nitrogen-fixing organisms requires an ATPgenerating system and a source of electrons (1, 2, 5, 11, 13). The phosplhoroclastic reaction provides botlh ATP anid electrons for the reduction of nitrogen by cell-free extracts of Clostridium1t pasteurianumn (2, 5, 13) and ferredoxin functions as the natural electron carrier from the phlosphoroclastic...
متن کاملLimitation of acetylene reduction (nitrogen fixation) by photosynthesis in soybean having low water potentials.
The role of photosynthesis and transpiration in the desiccation-induced inhibition of acetylene reduction (nitrogen fixation) was investigated in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Beeson) using an apparatus that permitted simultaneous measurements of acetylene reduction, net photosynthesis, and transpiration. The inhibition of acetylene reduction caused by low water potentials and their afte...
متن کاملTime 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...
