摘要
Nitrogen-fixation (C2H2-reduction) was demonstrated in wheat root nodules (p-nodules) induced by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) and inoculated with A. brasilense. By lowering the O2 tension it was possible to distinguish the nitrogenase activity of bacteria located within the p-nodule of the wheat root system from that in the rhizosphere. Using cytological evidence, nitrogenase activity was attributed mainly to be coming from the bacteria within the p-nodule. It was also shown that the host plant was able to supply the necessary substrate required for the bacterial N2-fixation (C2H2-reduction) within the p-nodules.
