Abstract
Nitrogenase activity, determined by the acetylene reduction assay, in soybean cell suspensions infected with Rhizobium, was stimulated significantly by the addition of succinic acid or glutamine. Acetylene-dependent ethylene values as high as 4.6 μmoles of ethylene/gram dry weight·hour were observed.Keywords
