Alfalfa Root Nodule Carbon Dioxide Fixation

Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Lupin Root Nodules: I. Characterization, Association with Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase, and Correlation with Nitrogen Fixation during Nodule Development.

In vivo CO(2) fixation and in vitro phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase levels have been measured in lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) root nodules of various ages. Both activities were greater in nodule tissue than in either primary or secondary root tissue, and increased about 3-fold with the onset of N(2) fixation. PEP carboxylase activity was predominantly located in the bacteroid-containi...

Carbon Dioxide Fixation in Marine Invertebrates*

Carbon dioxide fixation has not been studied extensively in the invertebrate animal groups. In an early study Van Niel et al. (1) with Cl1 showed fixation of COZ into succinic acid in the protozoan Tetrahymena geleii. Hultin and Wessel (2) studied incorporation of C% into proteins of developing sea urchin eggs (Psammechinus miliaris) with attention on metabolic patterns of development rather th...

A Sustainable Approach for Carbon Dioxide Fixation

Carbon dioxide is a green house gas that exists in earth’s atmosphere. In recent decade’s due to increment of population and rapid industrialization, the amount of CO2 has increased significantly and has caused global warming and other problems. Different methods are used for reduction of CO2 concentration in air one method is storing CO2 gas below the ground, but this manner doesn’t provide a ...

Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Detached Cereal Caryopses1

Immature detached cereal caryopses from barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var distichum cv Midas) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Sicco) were shown to be capable of fixing externally supplied"'CO2 in the light or dark. Green cross cells and the testa contained the majority of the 14Clabeled material. Some "4C-labeled material was also found in the outer, or transparent, layer and in the endosperm/e...
