固氮,测量乙炔还原为乙烯,被发现在工人的干木白蚁Kalotermes minor。士兵和生殖种姓固定很少或根本没有氮。固定率范围为24和566微克的氮固定每月每克(湿重)的白蚁。固氮作用可能是这些白蚁氮的重要来源。
Nitrogen fixation, measured by the reduction of acetylene to ethylene, was found in workers of the dry-wood termiteKalotermes minor. The soldiers and reproductive castes fixed little or no nitrogen. The fixation rates ranged between 24 and 566 micrograms of nitrogen fixed per month per gram (wet weight) of termite. Nitrogen fixation can be a significant source of nitrogen for these termites.
