Nitrite Assimilation and Amino Nitrogen Synthesis in Isolated Spinach Chloroplasts 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The assimilation of nitrite leading to de novo synthesis of amino nitrogen in a chloroplast-enriched fraction isolated from freshly harvested young spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves was demonstrated. The preparations showed approximately 55% intact chloroplasts as determined by light scattering properties and fixed CO2 at rates of approximately 100 μmoles hr−1 mg chlorophyll−1.
