Utilization of Aldehydes and Alcohols by Soybean Bacteroids

Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, Ithaca, New York 14853

Aldehydes, alcohols and acids were tested for their ability to support acetylene reduction and oxygen consumption by Rhizobium japonicum bacteroids isolated from soybean nodules. Several alcohols and aldehydes increased acetylene reduction and oxygen uptake. This is consistent with the concept that the plant nodule cytosol can metabolize carbohydrate via anaerobic fermentative pathways.
