TY - JOUR A1 - Döhler, Günter A1 - Roßlenbroich, Hans-Jürgen T1 - Photosynthetic assimilation of 15N-ammonia and 15N-nitrate in the marine diatoms Bellerochea yucatanensis (von Stosch) and Skeletonema costatum T2 - Zeitschrift für Naturforschung, C N2 - 14C-and 15N-Assimilation, 15N-Labelled Amino Acids, M arine D iatom s The marine diatoms Bellerochea yucatanensis and Skeletonema costatum were grown at +20 °C in 0.03 vol.% CO2 with nitrate or ammonia. The 15N -am m onia and 15N -nitrate assim ila­ tion and 15N -incorporation into various amino acids were studied of both diatom s during exponential growth phase in dependence of different nitrogen conditions. In all experiments the 15N -am m onia uptake was lower than the 15N -nitrate assim ilation rate up to 20-40 min photo­ synthesis. N itrate lim itation -cells grown in nitrate followed by growth in nitrogen-free m edium for 24 h — caused a strong 15N-label into aspartate after adding 15NH 4C1 (1 m M). In cells grown in nitrate highest enrichment of 15N was found in glutamine. Results were discussed with reference to the operating of the GS/GOGAT system and glutam ic acid dehydrogenase pathway. Photosynthetic 14CO2 fixation experiments showed a very high labelling of aspartate which was interpreted with a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylation catalysed by phosphoenolpyruvate carb-oxykinase.
