Abstract/Contents: | "N2 fixation by bacteria in symbiosis with washed roots of 13 Poaceae, and 8 other noncultivated plant species in Finland was demonstrated by the acetylene reduction method. The most active C2H2 reduction was observed in roots of Agrostis stolonifera, Calamagrostis lanceolata, Elytrigia repens and Phalaris arundinacea, which produced 538 to 1,510 nmol of C2H4.g-1 (dry weight).h-1 when incubated at pO2 0.04 with sucrose (pH 6.5), and 70 to 269 nmol of C2H4.g-1 (dry weight).h-1 without an added energy source and unbuffered. Azospirillum lipoferum, Enterobacter agglomerans, Klebsiella pneumoniae and a Pseudomonas sp. were the acetylene-reducing organisms isolated. The results demonstrate the presence of N2-fixing organisms in symbiosis with plant roots in a northern climatic region in acidic soils ranging down to pH 4.0." |
