Effects of Abiotic Factors on Acetylene Reduction by Cyanobacteria Epiphytic on Moss at a Subantarctic Island
Acetylene reduction (AR) rates by cyanobacteria epiphytic on a moss at Marion Island (46°54′ S, 37°45′ E) increased from −5°C to a maximum at 25 to 27°C. Q 10 values between 0 and 25°C were between 2.3 and 2.9, depending on photosynthetic photon flux density. AR rates declined sharply at temperature...
