Abstract

---

Nitrogen fixing root nodules of coriaria nepalensis consumed hydrogen pn incubation with a gas mixture containing hydrogen , indicating an uptake hydrogenase activity . the H2 uptake by the excised nodules varied throughout the year and was highest (2.16 mole H2 consumed g fresh nodule wt-1 .hr-1.) in may. The enzyme activity was detected in vesicle cluster suspensions of the endophyte (20 um residue) as well as in the 20 m filterate fraction of the nodule homogenate.
