N2 Fixation and Growth of Chromatium sp. with and without NH+/4 Addition

Sang-Wook Moon* and Michiro Matsuyama

N2 fixation and growth of Chromatium sp., isolated from Lake Kaiike, were examined with and without NH+/4 addition. The bacterial N2 fixation was inhibited by exogenous NH+/4. Added NH+/4 was rapidly assimilated by the bacterium. The resumption of N2 fixation was found when NH+/4 was reduced to a level of 100 M.

Without the addition of NH+/4, the bacterium could grow. However, growth yield added with NH+/4 was larger than that without NH+/4 addition. Different growth yields between the two nitrogen sources seemed to be strongly related to light and H2S. A low light limited the bacterial growth on N2 resulting in the lowest of all the yields.

Intracellular sulfur was shown to be promotable to the bacterial growth on NH+/4 rather than that on N2.

Since the bacterial growth on N2 was expected to require more light and H2S than that on NH+/4, the bacterial N2 fixation at the site of original habitat in Lake Kaiike was suggested to barely maintain the bacterial number.

Chromatium sp., N2 fixation, NH+/4 addition, Growth yield.

NH+/4の添 加 有 無 に よるChromatium  sp.の 窒 素 固 定 お よび 生 長 文  尚郁 ・松 山  通 郎

貝池 か ら分 離 したChromatium spの 窒素 固 定 お よび生長 をNH+/4 の添加 、無 添加 に よって調 べ た。 本菌 の窒 素 固定 は添 加 したNH+/4 に よって阻害 された 。添 加 され たNH+/4 は本菌 に よって迅 速 に 同化 され た。 窒素 固定 の 再 開は100μM以 下 の濃度 で進 行 した。

NH+/4 の添加 が な くて も本 菌 は生長 したが、一 定期 間培 養 した後 の生 長量 は常 にNH+/4 を添 加 した方 が 高 か った 。 そ れ ぞれ異 な る窒 素 源 に よる生長 量 の差 は光 及 びH2Sと 強 く関わ って い る と考 え られた。 低 照 度 は本菌 の窒素 固 定 に よる生長 を制限 し、最 も低 い生長 量 を もた ら した。 細胞 内い お う粒子 はN2生 長 よ りNH+/4 生長 に対 して よ り促進 効果 を示 した。

本菌 の窒素 固定 に よる生長 はNH+/4 に よ る生長 に比較 し、 よ り多 くの光 お よびH2Sを 要 求 す る こ とか ら、 貝池

の 棲息地 におけ る本 菌 の窒素 固定 は辛 う じて菌 の個 体数 を維持 す る もの と推 察 され た。
