In vitro transfer of ¢xed nitrogen from diazotrophic ¢lamentous cyanobacteria to black mangrove seedlings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two isolates of the diazotrophic filamentous cyanobacterium Microcoleus chthonoplastes, one obtained from black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) pneumatophores and one from cyanobacterial mats, were inoculated onto young mangrove seedlings to evaluate nitrogen transfer from the bacterium to the plants under in vitro conditions in closed system experiments. Total nitrogen and N incorporation in plant parts were measured. The levels of total N and N in the inoculated leaves were significantly higher than in noninoculated plants. z 1998 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.

In vitro colonization and increase in nitrogen fixation of seedling roots of black mangrove inoculated by a filamentous cyanobacteria
An isolate of the filamentous cyanobacterium Microcoleus sp. was obtained from black mangrove aerial root (pneumatophore) and inoculated onto young mangrove seedlings to evaluate N2-fixation and rootcolonization capacities of the bacterium under in vitro conditions in closed-system experiments. N2 fixation (acetylene reduction) gradually increased with time and reached its peak 5 days after ino...
متن کاملThe importance of diazotrophic cyanobacteria as primary producers during Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Event 2
In Livello Bonarelli black shale deposited during Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE-2, ca. 94 Ma), nitrogen isotopic compositions of bulk sediments are mostly in a narrow range from –2.7 to –0.7‰. We also determined molecular distribution and nitrogen isotopic compositions of geoporphyrins extracted from the black shale. The nitrogen isotopic compositions of C32 Ni deoxophylloerythroetiopo...
متن کاملAway-fi eld advantage: mangrove seedlings grow best in litter from other mangrove species
Plant community composition can impact ecosystem processes via litter feedbacks. Species variation in litter quality may generate diff erent patterns of nutrient supply for plants that are dependent on litter inputs. However, it is not known whether plants grow faster in their own litter, litter from other species, or in litter mixtures from multiple species. To test whether litter identity and...
متن کاملDiazotrophy and diversity of benthic cyanobacteria in tropical coastal zones
Discoveries in recent years have disclosed the importance of marine cyanobacteria in the context of primary production and global nitrogen cycling. It is hypothesized here that microbial mats in tropical coastal habitats harbour a rich diversity of previously uncharacterized cyanobacteria and that benthic marine nitrogen fixation in coastal zones is substantial. A polyphasic approach was used t...
متن کاملDiversity and Structure of Diazotrophic Communities in Mangrove Rhizosphere, Revealed by High-Throughput Sequencing
Diazotrophic communities make an essential contribution to the productivity through providing new nitrogen. However, knowledge of the roles that both mangrove tree species and geochemical parameters play in shaping mangove rhizosphere diazotrophic communities is still elusive. Here, a comprehensive examination of the diversity and structure of microbial communities in the rhizospheres of three ...
