✦ Synopsis

Ammonia reversibly inhibits the nitrogenase activity not only in purple nonsulfur bacteria but in purple (Thiocapsa roseopersicina) and green (Chlorobium limicoIa forma thiosulfatophilum) sulfur bacteria as well.

The complete inhibition of nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction) is observed about 30 s after addition of NH] (> 2.5 x 10 -6 M) to cell suspensions. The pattern of ammonia inhibition of acetylene reduction in T. roseopersicina does not differ from the action of tetrabutylammonium and tetraphenylphosphonium (3 -10-6 __ 5 " 10-5 M) on nitrogenase activity of this bacterium.

Simultaneously with the "switch-off" effect of NH + a considerable increase of ATP in cells of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and C. limicola f. thiosulphatophilum was observed.

Methylparathion and Benthiocarb inhibition of N2 fixation in the cyanobacterium Nostoc muscorum was reversed by Ca(2+) at 1 mM but not at 0.1 mM. The concentration of intracellular Ca(2+) was relatively high in the presence of these pesticides when 1 mM Ca(2+) was also present, indicating that intra
