Carbon flow in plant microbial associations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurement of the distribution of the photosynthesis product in the symbiotic association of a legume, a mycorrhizal fungus, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria showed that the fungus incorporated 1 percent of the photosynthesis product and respired 3 percent. The nodules of a 5-week-old plant utilized 7 to 12 percent of the photosynthesis product. The legume compensated in partfor the needs of its microbial partners through increased rates of photosynthesis.

Benthic bacterial and fungal productivity and carbon turnover in a freshwater marsh.
Heterotrophic bacteria and fungi are widely recognized as crucial mediators of carbon, nutrient, and energy flow in ecosystems, yet information on their total annual production in benthic habitats is lacking. To assess the significance of annual microbial production in a structurally complex system, we measured production rates of bacteria and fungi over an annual cycle in four aerobic habitats...
متن کاملBiological costs and benefits to plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere.
This review looks briefly at plants and their rhizosphere microbes, the chemical communications that exist, and the biological processes they sustain. Primarily it is the loss of carbon compounds from roots that drives the development of enhanced microbial populations in the rhizosphere when compared with the bulk soil, or that sustains specific mycorrhizal or legume associations. The benefits ...
متن کاملBiodiversity of Anaerobic Fungi from Ruminants in Republic of Macedonia
Herbivores as well as other vertebrates are not capable of producing cellulases and/or hemicelullases. Instead, a lot of herbivores form symbiotic associations with bacteria, protozoa and fungi which produce these enszymes and therefore are capable of degrading the plant polymers. In return for the relatively constant environment and continuous flow of plant material, the microorganisms of the ...
متن کاملRhizosphere bacterial carbon turnover is higher in nucleic acids than membrane lipids: implications for understanding soil carbon cycling
Using a pulse chase (13)CO2 plant labeling experiment we compared the flow of plant carbon into macromolecular fractions of rhizosphere soil microorganisms. Time dependent (13)C dilution patterns in microbial cellular fractions were used to calculate their turnover time. The turnover times of microbial biomolecules were found to vary: microbial RNA (19 h) and DNA (30 h) turned over fastest foll...
متن کاملاثر شوری بر برخی شاخص‌های میکروبی خاک در حضور و عدم حضور ریشه‌های زنده گیاه
Similar to plants, soil salinity may reduce microbial growth and activities in different ways. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different levels of salinity on some microbial indices in the presence and absence of plant's living roots. In this study, five levels of salinity using NaCl, CaCl2, MgCl2 and KCl and three soil media (soil with no plant, soil cultivated with wheat...
