Nitrogenase Activity Associated with Halodule wrightii Roots.
Nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) associated with roots of the seagrass Halodule wrightii was measured offshore near Beaufort and Moorhead City, N.C. Rates of acetylene reduction were higher in aerobic than in anaerobic assays and were linear for up to 5 days. The temperature range for acetylene reduction was 15 to 35 degrees C with a maximum activity at 35 degrees C. Nitrogenase activity...
متن کاملINFLUENCE OF THE SHOOT DENSITY OF Halodule wrightii ASCHERSON FROM ROCKY AND SANDY HABITATS ON ASSOCIATED MACROALGAL COMMUNITIES
This study evaluated the influence of the shoot density of the shoal grass Halodule wrightii on the composition of the associated algal community, in rocky and sandy habitats on the coast of Ceará in northeastern Brazil. The phycological community included 18 species in 10 families, members of Rodophyta (72.2%), Chlorophyta (22.2%) and Phaeophyceae (5.5%). The largest proportion were epilithic ...
متن کاملEndogenous ethylene production is a potential problem in the measurement of nitrogenase activity associated with excised corn and sorghum roots.
Endogenous ethylene production was evaluated as a source of ethylene during acetylene reduction assays with freshly collected roots of field-grown corn, Zea mays L. cv Funks G-4646, and sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. cv CK-60A. Ethylene production was not detected when roots were incubated in air without acetylene. The presence of endogenous ethylene production was confirmed when roots w...

Bot. 66: 17621771. Myrica gale L. plants were inoculated with Frankia strain HFP M'gI5 and grown for 28 days with root systems exposed to 2, 5, 10, 21, and 40 kPa 0,. Plant growth was similar under all ...
متن کاملFungal endophytes of the seagrasses Halodule wrightii and Thalassia testudinum in the north- central Gulf of Mexico
The purpose of this note is to communicate the diversity of endophytic fungi isolated from living leaves of Halodule wrightii and Thalassia testudinum, two ubiqui tous seagrasses in the northcentral Gulf of Mexico. Fungi were isolated from surfacesterilized leaf fragments of the two plants that had been inoculated onto seawater malt extract agar. Leaves of T. testudinum harbored slightly mor...
