Abstract
Aldehydes, alcohols and acids were tested for their ability to support acetylene reduction and oxygen consumption by Rhizobium japonicum bacteroids isolated from soybean nodules. Several alcohols and aldehydes increased acetylene reduction and oxygen uptake. This is consistent with the concept that the plant nodule cytosol can metabolize carbohydrate via anaerobic fermentative pathways.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
