Popis: | It was found that Azotobacter vinelandii grown in a dialyzed soil medium did not fix nitrogen and had a much lower rate of respiration than when grown in Burk's nitrogen-free medium. When para-hydroxybenzoic acid served as the added oxidizable organic carbon source in dialyzed soil medium, the azotobacter grown in it were found to be unable to fix nitrogen. On the other hand, A. vinelandii fixed nitrogen when grown in soil supplemented with glucose. It was concluded that natural conditions in the soil are not conducive to nitrogen fixation by A. vinelandii. |
