Seasonal Patterns Of Nitrogen Fixation In Termites, A. D. Curtis, D. A. Waller
Biological Sciences Faculty Publications
Summary
1. Termite nitrogenase activity was highest in autumn and spring (≈ 3 µg N2 fixed termite fresh mass (g)–1 day–1) and lowest in winter and summer (≈ 0·8 µg N2 fixed termite fresh mass (g)–1 day–1).
2. The nitrogenase activity of worker termites was significantly higher than all other castes (1·58 ± 0·27 µg N2 fixed termite fresh mass (g)–1 day–1).
3. Worker termites constituted the largest proportion of all the castes throughout the study period (≈ 90%).
4. The localized input of fixed nitrogen by termites …
