Acetylene reduction assays for nitrogen fixation in freshwaters: a note of caution.
Lake water samples were observed to transform [14-C]ethylene into water-soluble compounds that were undetectable by conventional acetylene reduction assay procedures. Methane oxidizing bacteria, which are known to be common in freshwaters, appeared to be responsible for this activity. As much as 28 percent of added ethylene has been observed to be transformed and this figure is probably an unde...
متن کاملMortality of workers at acetylene production plants.
To reduce the risk of explosion oxyacetylene cylinders are filled with a spongy mass, acetone is added to saturate the mass, and acetylene is pumped into the cylinder. The first cylinders manufactured before 1936 used a kapok filling topped off with about 16 oz of crocidolite asbestos, with a metal gauze thimble inserted to reduce risk of flash back. Cylinders must be examined annually. The use...

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 کاملContinuous measurement of macronutrient ions in the transpiration stream of intact plants using the meadow spittlebug coupled with ion chromatography.
A method is described for continuous, nondestructive analysis of xylem-borne mineral nutrients in intact transpiring plants. The method uses the xylem-feeding insect the meadow spittlebug (Philaenus spumarius L. [Homoptera: Cercopidae]). This insect will feed from a wide range of plant species and organs. Insect excreta can be collected at all times of the day and night, and its mineral ion con...
