Temporal separation of nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis in the filamentous,non-heterocystous cyanobacterium Oscillatoria sp. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
When growing in laternating light-dark cycles, nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction) in the filamentous, non-heterocystous cyanobacterium Oscillatoria sp. strain 23 (Oldenburg) is predominantly present during the dark period. Dark respiration followed the same pattern as nitrogenase. Maximum activities of nitrogenase and respiration appeared at the same time and were 3.6 mol C2H4 and 1.4 mg O2 mg Chl a
-1·h-1, respectively. Cultures, adapted to light-dark cycles, but transferred to continuous light, retained their reciprocal rhythm of oxygenic photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation. Moreover, even in the light, oxygen uptake was observed at the same rate as in the dark. Oxygen uptake and nitrogenase activity coincided. However, nitrogenase activity in the light was 6 times as high (22 mol C2H4 mg Chl a
-1·h-1) as compared to the dark activity. Although some overlap was observed in which both oxygen evolution and nitrogenase activity occurred simultaneously, it was concluded that in Oscillatoria nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis are separated temporary. If present, light covered the energy demand of nitrogenase and respiration very probably fulfilled a protective function. 相似文献

Summary Effects of three solution aluminium concentrations (0, 25, and 100M) on nitrogen fixation by well-nodulated plants ofStylosanthes hamata, Stylosanthes humilis andStylosanthes scabra are reported. Plants were inoculated with Rhizobium CB756 and grown for 21 days in an aluminium-free nutrient solution at pH 5.3 before imposition of the aluminium treatments.Nitrogen fixation was measured both by the increase in total nitrogen content of the plants and acetylene reduction in roots of plants harvested at 10 and 20 days after imposition of the aluminium treatments. Solution aluminium concentrations as high as 100M, had no detrimental effect on nitrogen fixation in any species. 相似文献

A technique was developed for synchronization ofHyphomicrobium sp. strain B-522. Bacteria were grown in continuous culture with methanol (0.1%; v/v) growth limiting. Vitamin B12 (2.5 g/l) was necessary to obtain steady state growth. The critical dilution rate wasD
c
=0.112; maximum cell output occurred atD=0.105 (Dx=30 mg l-1 h-1). Continuous cultures ofHyphomicrobium B-522 atD=0.110 were used to obtain cells for synchronization experiments. Synchronization was achieved by trapping young hyphal and budding cells in a glass wool column, while the initial swarmer cells were allowed to pass through. By semicontinuously rinsing the system, newly produced swarmers could be sampled in the effluent. The mean length of these synchronous swarmer cells was 1.25 m (s=±0.13 m; range 0,6 m) as compared to 1.40 m (s=±0.21 m; range 1.2 m) for swarmer cells of the continuous culture. Division of synchronous swarmer populations was completed after 7 h; the synchronization index was 0.76. 相似文献

Somatic embryo formation was induced from cotyledon explants of Styrian pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L. subsp. pepo var. styriaca Greb.) by using a solid MS medium supplemented with 16.11M NAA and 4.44M BA or 26.85M NAA and 13.32M BA. The callus proliferation was more efficient on medium supplemented with 26.85M NAA and 13.32M BA. In contrast, the embryogenic response was higher on medium with lower concentrations of growth regulators (16.11M NAA and 4.44M BA). The time needed for embryo induction did not depend on medium composition. Embryos in globular stage were transferred to three different maturation media, containing 2.89M GA3 in combination with 0.54M NAA, 11.42M IAA and growth regulator-free medium. The germination rate was the highest when embryos were cultured on medium with 11.42M IAA. Plantlets grown on this medium achieved maturity suitable for transplantation into soil within 9 to 10weeks. The regenerated plants were successfully transferred into field and developed fertile flowers and set fruits. Biochemical analysis showed significant lower total glutathione levels among in vitro grown plantlets compared to seedlings grown in soil. When the plantlets were transferred into soil, they reached a normal size within a month and the glutathione concentration was comparable to seed-derived plants at the same developmental stage. Transmission electron microscopy was used to investigate possible differences in the ultrastructure of cells from callus cultures, and leaf cells of regenerated and seed-derived plants. Differences in the ultrastructure were found within chloroplasts which contained only single thylakoids, large starch grains and small plastoglobuli in callus cells in comparison to leaf cells, which possessed a well developed thylakoid system, small starch grains and large plastoglobuli. 相似文献

We have studied the influence of low concentrations of 6-benzyladenine on growth limitation, in order to preserve coffee germplasm through a microcutting collection. Concentrations of 0 M, 1.3 M and 4.4 M were compared in four species: Coffea congensis, C. canephora, C. liberica and C. racemosa. After six months, microcutting behaviour varied between the different treatments, and a species effect was observed. The slow growing species (C. liberica and C. congensis) needed 1.3 M; the others coffee species (C. canephora and C. racemosa) exhibited moderate caulogenesis on 6-benzyladenine-free medium. Zero and low concentrations did not affect survival rates. In conclusion 1.3 M seems most appropriate for conserving all four species.Abbreviation BA

Summary The potential of peanuts for symbiotic nitrogen fixation is considerable and under optimal edaphic and climatic conditions it reached 222 kg N2/ha, which was 58% of the nitrogen accumulated in the plants. The effect of the Rhizobium inoculation on crude protein accumulation in the yield (kg/ha) was 3–4 times greater than its effect on the yield of pods and hay. There was an inverse relationship between the protein and oil content in the kernels.Seasonal changes in nitrogenase activity in the nodules were determined by the acetylene reduction method during two growing seasons. Under favorable conditions the specific activity of the nitrogenase reached a very high level (up to 975 moles C2H2 g dry wt nod/h) and the total activity (moles C2H4/plant/h) was also high in spite of the relatively poor nodulation (weight and number). The high activity was drastically reduced (to 75 moles C2H4 g dry wt nod/h) due to exceptionally hot and dry weather, which occurred in the middle of the second half of the growing season. It appears that N2-fixation (nitrogenase activity) is more sensitive to these unfavorable conditions, than is nodule growth. Maximum nitrogenase activity was observed during the podfilling stage; until 50–60 days after planting, nitrogenase activity was very low. 相似文献

The purple sulfur bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina, being the dominant anoxygenic phototroph in microbial mats, was tested for growth on polysulfide as the electron donor for carbon dioxide fixation. Data collected in continuous cultures revealed max to be 0.065 h-1 and the saturation affinity constant K
s to be 6.7 M. The value of the inhibition constant K
i was estimated in batch cultures and was found to be approximately 1100 M. When grown on monosulfide, the organism was capable of trisulfide utilization without lag. Monosulfide-limited growth was established to have a max of 0.091 h-1 and K
s of 8.0 M. Field observations revealed polysulfide, present at supra-optimal concentrations, as a major pool of reduced sulfur in a laminated marine sediment ecosystem.Non-standard abbreviations DLP

Summary A simple procedure was developed to induce callus growth and whole plant regeneration for a tetraploid cultivar of Alstroemeria. The callus, induced from mature zygotic embryos cultured on a medium supplemented with 20 M kinetin with 10 or 20 M NAA, could be maintained for one year without any loss of regeneration potential. Maximum frequency of regeneration (40%) was obtained with calli maintained on the medium containing 20 M kinetin and 20 M NAA. Whole plant regeneration occurred via somatic embryogenesis in the absence of growth regulators and the plantlets grew to maturity and flowered in the greenhouse conditions.Abbreviations BAP

Callus was initiated from in vitro grown immature leaf and ex vitro grown mature leaf and rhizome explants of Agave sisalana Perr. ex. Engelm, on MS medium containing 2,4-D (9.05 M) and kinetin (4.6 M) or 2,4-D (9.05 M), kinetin (4.6 M) and CH (1000 mg l–1) or mod. MS (NH4NO3, 1500 mg l–1) containing 2,4-D (9.05 M) and kinetin (4.6 M). Light was essential for callus formation which, however, was different in three types of explants on three different media compositions. Increasing NH4
+had a negative impact while addition of CH had a positive impact on callus formation. Shoot regeneration from callus from CH-supplemented medium only was achieved for rhizome and immature leaf tissues. The highest rate of regeneration was obtained with BA (26.6 M) as the sole hormone. Shoot buds g–1 callus varied according to BA concentrations. Shoot proliferation rate increased on half-strength MS medium containing BA (8.9 M). Microshoots developed on MS medium containing BA (2.22 M) and GA3 (1.44 M) and finally rooted on MS medium containing IAA (11.42 M). Acclimatized rooted plantlets are growing satisfactorily in ex vitro. This is the first report on plant regeneration via organogenesis of A. sisalana. 相似文献

Arachis correntina (Burkart) Krapov. & W.C. Gregory is a herbaceous perennial leguminous plant growing in the Northeast of the Province Corrientes, Argentina. It is important as forage. The development of new A. correntina cultivars with improved traits could be facilitated through the application of biotechnological strategies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the plant regeneration potential of mature leaves of A. correntina in tissue culture. Buds were induced from both petiole and laminae on 0.7% agar-solidified medium containing 3% sucrose, salts and vitamins from Murashige and Skoog (MS) supplemented with 0.5–25 M thidiazuron (TDZ). Shoot induction was achieved by transference of calli with buds to MS supplemented with 5 M TDZ. Fifty-four percent of the regenerated shoot rooted on MS + 5 M naphthaleneacetic acid. Histological studies revealed that shoots regenerated via organogenesis. 相似文献

Ferric ethylenediamine di-(o-hydroxyphenylacetate) (FeEDDHA) and ferric hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid (FeHEDTA) were evaluated as Fe sources for hydroponic growth of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L., cv. Mesilla), either dependent on N2 fixation or supplied with NO3. The hydroponic medium was maintained at pH 7.5 by addition of CaCO3. Nitrogen-fixing cultures were inoculated with Rhizobium meliloti 102 F51 and grown in medium without added nitrogen. After five to seven weeks of growth under greenhouse conditions, plants were harvested. Nitrogen fixation was measured by the acetylene reduction method.When FeEDDHA was supplied, growth of alfalfa, whether dependent on N2 fixation or supplied with NO3, was severely limited at concentrations typically used in hydroponic medium (10 or 20 M). Maximum yield of NO3-supplied alfalfa was obtained at 100 M while maximum yield of N2-fixing alfalfa was obtained in the range of 33 to 200 M FeEDDHA. Nodule fresh weights and N2 fixation rates increased with FeEDDHA concentration up to 33 M and remained essentially constant up to 200 M. With FeHEDTA, maximum yields of both NO3-grown and N2-fixing alfalfa were obtained at 10 M. Growth of NO3-supplied plants was inhibited at 200 M FeHEDTA while growth of N2-fixing plants was inhibited at 100 M FeHEDTA. The numbers of nodules per plant increased between 3.3 and 10 M FeHEDTA; however, inhibition of nodule formation occurred at a concentration of 33 M or higher. Nodule weights per plant and N2 fixation rates were depressed at 3.3 M as well as at 100 M FeHEDTA. The results suggest that alfalfa dependent on N2 fixation is more sensitive to limited Fe availability than alfalfa supplied with NO3. 相似文献

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from immature embryos of saw palmetto,an important landscape and medicinal plant 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from immature zygotic embryos was achieved for saw palmetto (Serenoa repens (Bartr.) Small). Embryos, isolated from immature fruit of native-grown plants, were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium plus 0.15% (w/v) activated charcoal and supplemented with 452 M 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 14.7 M N6-(2-isopentenyl)adenine (2iP). Clusters of somatic embryos developed from all immature zygotic embryos 5 weeks after culture initiation. After 12 weeks, explants were transferred to the same medium with the amount of 2,4-D reduced to 90.4 M which resulted in somatic embryo proliferation. Somatic embryos were then transferred to the basal medium containing 0.9, 9 M thidiazuron (TDZ), or no growth regulator for conversion into plantlets. The 9 M TDZ treatment was ineffective for plant regeneration. However, 12% of the embryos subcultured on 0.9 M TDZ were able to produce complete plantlets. Shoot production was obtained from 35% of the embryos subcultured in the absence of growth regulators. Rooting (100%) was achieved when these shoots were transferred onto medium containing 22.2 M -naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). 相似文献

A method for plant regeneration of Iris via somatic embryogenesis is described. Root and leaf pieces from in vitro-grown plants of several genotypes of rhizomatous Iris sp. were cultured in vitro. Callus induction occurred only on root cultures incubated under low light intensity (35 mol m-2 s-1) on two induction media containing 2,4-D (4.5 or 22.5 M), NAA (5.4 M) and kinetin (0.5 M). Somatic embryos developed after transfer of callus onto four regeneration media containing 9 or 22 M BA, or 5 M kinetin and 2 M TIBA or 9 M BA and 4 M TIBA. Plantlets could be obtained from these somatic embryos. Genotypic differences were found both in callus induction and somatic embryo formation, with I. pseudacorus responding better than I. versicolor or I. setosa. Cytological analysis performed on root tips of 80 regenerated plants revealed that two of the I. pseudacorus regenerants were tetraploid.Abbreviations 2,4-D

Mutagenesis of Phaffia rhodozyma with NTG yielded a mutant with an astaxanthin content of 1688 g (g dry biomass)-1, a cell yield coefficient of 0.47 on glucose and a maximum specific growth rate of 0.12 h-1. Re-mutation of the mutant decreased the cell yield and maximum specific growth rate but increased the astaxanthin content. The use of mannitol or succinate as carbon sources enhanced pigmentation, yielding astaxanthin contents of 1973 g g-1 and 1926 g g-1, respectively. The use of valine as sole nitrogen source also increased astaxanthin production, but severely decreased the maximum specific growth rate and cell yield coefficient. The optimum pH for growth of P. rhodozyma was between pH 4.5 and 5.5, whereas the astaxanthin content remained constant above pH 3. 相似文献

Shifts in the intracellular ATP pools of immobilisedNostoc cells (Cyanobacteria) induced by water stress 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary Immobilised, desiccated cells ofNostoc commune UTEX 584 have the capacity to increase the size of their extractable intracellular ATP pool upon rewetting. The time taken to recover the pool size depends on the conditions of storage at a particular water potential and the duration of storage. Under the conditions employed, the rewetting of cells induced an increase in ATP pool size at the expense of photophosphorylation or electron transport (oxidative) phosphorylation. The rise in the ATP pool size was instantaneous and was shown to be due to ATP synthesis. This increase did not occur when cells were rewetted in the presence of sodium azide (10 mmol/l), while a partial inhibition was observed with CCCP (carbonyl cyanidem-chlorophenylhydrazone; 2 mol/l). For cells dried at more extreme water potentials, the lag ofc 48 h observed before the ATP pool reached control values is of similar duration to that observed in the recovery of nitrogenase upon rewetting. Chloramphenicol (10 mol/l) stimulated significantly the upshift in the size of the ATP pool ofNostoc cells upon rewetting, yet inhibited completely the rise in nitrogenase activity. 相似文献

The nitrogenase activity ofAzospirillum spp. is efficiently regulated by environmental factors. InA. brasilense andA. lipoferum a rapid switch off of nitrogenase activity occurs after the addition of ammonium chloride. As in photosynthetic bacteria, a covalent modification of nitrogenase reductase (Fe-protein) is involved. InA. amazonense, a non-covalent mechanism causes only a partial inhibition of nitrogenase activity after ammonium chloride is added. In anaerobic conditions, nitrogenase reductase is also switched off by a covalent modification inA. brasilense andA. lipoferum. Short-time exposure ofAzospirillum to increased oxygen levels causes a partially reversible inhibition of nitrogenase activity, but no covalent modification is involved.Azospirillum spp. show variations in their oxygen tolerance. High levels of carotenoids confer a slightly improved oxygen tolerance. Certain amino acids (e. g. glutamate, aspartate, histidine and serine) affect growth and nitrogen fixation differently inAzospirillum spp. Amino acids may influence growth and nitrogen fixation ofAzospirillum in the association with plants.Azospirillum brasilense andA. halopraeferens are the more osmotolerant species. They utilize most amino acids poorly and accumulate glycine betaine, which also occurs in osmotically stressed grasses as a compatible solute to counteract osmotic stress. Nitrogen fixation is stimulated by glycine betaine and choline. Efficient iron acquisition is a prerequisite for competitive and aerotoleran growth and for high nitrogenase activity.Azospirillum halopraeferens andA. amazonense assimilate iron reasonably well, whereas growth of someA. brasilense andA. lipoferum strains is severely inhibited by iron limitation and by competition with foreign microbial iron chelators. However, growth of certain iron-limitedA. brasilense strains is stimulated by the phytosiderophore mugineic acid. Thus, various plant-derived substances may stimulate growth and nitrogen fixation ofAzospirillum. 相似文献

Augmentation of H2 photoproduction in Rhodopseudomonas palustris by N-heterocyclic aromatic compounds 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary Fragments excised from front regions of thinspread Physarum plasmodia were used to examine a possible correlation between the periodical dynamic activity of such specimens and the spatial organization of actin fibrils. Under isotonic conditions, symmetrical contractions and relaxations of the entire fragment alternate with a period of 1–4 min, whereas under isometric conditions local contractions and relaxations occur simultaneously in different regions of the same specimen. Rapid fixation and phalloidin-staining at distinct stages of the contraction-relaxation cycle demonstrates the permanent existence of cytoplasmic actin fibrils under both isometric and isotonic conditions. During the transition from relaxation to contraction the fibrils shorten in length from 25.5 m to 21.0 m and increase in density from 1.2 fibrils/1000 m2 to 2.3 fibrils/1000 m2. The present results demonstrate that actin fibrils in Physarum plasmodia are not completely decomposed and reformed every contraction-relaxation cycle.Series Studies on microplasmodia of Physarum polycephalum VIII 相似文献

Summary The structure of mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) from sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) has been studied by biochemical methods and electron microscopy. It was found to be complex multipartite consisting of two main classes of molecules: high molecules weight (HMW) mtDNA and low molecular weight (LMW) mtDNA. The HMW mtDNA consists of rosette-like structures and globules resembling chromomeres (150–200nm). A typical rosette has a protein core and radially stemming closed DNA loops (from 0.6-1.5 m). The number of loops in a rosette varies from 16–30. The bulk of HMW mtDNAs are represented by interconnected rosettes (total contour length about 130–160 m, 403–496 kbp). Such large circular DNAs may be evidence of the master chromosome arrangement of the sugarbeet genome. Globules and rosettes are interconnected by thick and thin DNA fibrils, along which nucleosome- and nucleomere-like structures are distributed. The LWM mtDNA is composed of two groups of supercoiled circular molecules, 0,2–1.5 m and 0.02–0.05 m in size. Electrophoretic analysis demonstrated that LWM mtDNA is represented by minicircle plasmid-like DNA molecules of 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6 kbp. 相似文献

The effect of various concentrations of benzyladenine (BA 4.4–177.5 M) or kinetin (4.7–185.9 M) on shoot proliferation from shoot-tip explants was investigated in C. praetermissum Heiser & Smith and C. annuum L. Maximum number of shoots were obtained on Murashige & Skoog's medium with 66.6 M BA or 92.9 M kinetin in C. praetermissum, and 88.8 M BA or 116.2 M kinetin in C. annuum after 4 weeks of culture. Combining 1 M 2, 3, 5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) with low levels of BA or kinetin significantly increased shoot number as compared to using either cytokinin alone. Rooting of regenerated shoots was achieved on MS medium containing 5.7 M indoleacetic acid. Best rooting (80–100%) was observed in shoots from TIBA plus BA or kinetin media while only 40–50% of shoots from the BA or kinetin treatments were rootable. Plantlets obtained from TIBA plus BA or kinetin were normal diploids while those from BA or kinetin alone revealed distinct chromosomal aberrations in their root tip squashes. Regenerants from TIBA plus BA or kinetin media were successfully established in the soil (86% survival rate), where they flowered and showed normal meiotic behaviour with 100% pollen viability.Abbreviations BA
