Nitrogen Fixation by Ceanothus.
The rapidity of successioni of Ceanothus species in burned-over areas where they are indigenous and the apparent enhancing effect which these species have on the development of other shrubs and ground cover suggests that Ceanothus has a soil-improvement effect and implies the fixation of nitrogen. Nodulation of some species of Ceanothus was observed as early as 1912 (3). Bottomley and also Petr...
متن کاملNitrogen fixation by a facultative bacillus.
A basic problem in biological nitrogen fixation is the distribution of this property among various organisms. Although several decades ago numerous bacteria were reported to fix molecular nitrogen, very few such claims survived because the proof was often based upon an unimpressive increase in visual turbidity or Kjeldahl nitrogen after prolonged culture. The limitation of these methods has bee...
متن کاملNitrogen Fixation by Azotobacter vinelandii
Nitrogenase was isolated and purified from wildtype and a tungsten-resistant mutant (LM2) of Azotobacter vinelandii strain OP derepressed on medium containing 1-10 mM W. While the enzyme from the wild-type strain contained the polypeptides of the conventional enzyme, metal analysis of component 1 demonstrated the existence of one atom each of molybdenum and tungsten. Furthermore, the ESR spectr...
متن کاملStudies on Nitrogen Fixation by Blue-green Algae I. Nitrogen Fixation by Anabaena Cylindrica Lemm
RECENT work, particularly that of De (1939), has shown that some blue-green algae are capable of utilizing the free nitrogen of the atmosphere in the synthesis of cell material. Much further work will be necessary, however, before the importance of nitrogen fixation by these organisms in nature can be estimated, our knowledge both of the distribution of the property within the group of the Myxo...
متن کاملFixation of isotopic nitrogen by excised nodules.
After 60 years of research in symbiotic nitrogen fixation, the agent of fixation has not been established. Apparently only two biological species, leguminous plants and Rhisobium, are essential (l), but attempts to separate the components have been unsuccessful. Unequivocal fixation by the intact nodule excised from a plant actively fixing nitrogen has not been demonstrated. Ordinarily, cells o...
