The Temperature Characteristic of Respiration of Azotobacter
نویسندگان
چکیده
The temperature characteristic of respiration of Azotobacter vinelandii possesses a constant value of 19,330 +/- 165 over the temperature range 20-30 degrees C. This value is independent of pH, oxygen tension, age of culture, and other factors within the limits studied. The optimum temperature of respiration is 34-35 degrees C., with limits at about 10 degrees and 50 degrees C.

Germination of Azotobacter vinelandii cysts: sequence of macromolecular synthesis and nitrogen fixation.
Azotobacter vinelandii cysts undergo conversion to vegetative cells in Burk's nitrogen-free medium utilizing glucose, sucrose, or acetate. In 1% glucose, this overall process was complete in 8 hr and consisted of a germination and an outgrowth phase. Respiration, ribonucleic acid, and protein synthesis began soon after the addition of the germinant, and these processes proceeded at rates charac...

Azotobacter strains were isolated by serial dilution method and colonies were viscous, smooth, glistening, and brown to black colour on Jenson's N-free agar. Morphological and biochemical tests showed characteristic features of Azotobacter. Further, molecular analyses revealed the presence of different Azotobacter species viz., A. armeniacus, A. chroococcum, A. salinestris, A. tropicalis and A....

The objectives of this study were to count and culture Azotobacter spp. in sampled soils, to determine the nitrogen (N) fixing capacity byAzotobacter spp. in pure culture and different soils, and to explore the relationships between N fixation capacity of Azotobacter spp. and microbiological properties of soils in Northern Anatolia, Turkey. Statistically significant relationships were found bet...
متن کاملCarbon Monoxide Inhibition of Azotobacter in Microrespiration Experiments.
Extremely small quantities of carbon monoxide in air inhibit nitrogen fixation by red clover plants inoculated with Rhizobium trifolii (Lind and Wilson, 1941). In preliminary trials with Azotobacter vinelandii Wyss (1941) found a similar inhibition at carbon monoxide concentrations about 10 times those required for the symbiotic system. We have made a detailed study of the inhibition of this az...
متن کاملInhibition of nitrogenase activity by ammonium chloride in Azotobacter vinelandii.
In Azotobacter vinelandii cells, the short-term inhibition of nitrogenase activity by NH4Cl was found to depend on several factors. The first factor is the dissolved oxygen concentration during the assay of nitrogenase. When cells are incubated with low concentrations of oxygen, nitrogenase activity is low and ammonia inhibits strongly. With more oxygen, nitrogenase activity increases. Cells in...
