Acetylene reduction by pure cultures of Rhizobia.
Acetylene reduction has been demonstrated in pure cultures of rhizobia. The requirements and conditions necessary for the activity in Rhizobium sp. 32H1 are described. The most important factors are a low cell density and a very low oxygen concentration.
