    Notes: Summary We examined the suitability of four reference crops, i.e., two non-fixing trees,Cassia siamea andEucalyptus grandis, and two uninoculated fixing trees,Leucaena leucocephala andAcacia albida, for measuring fixed N2 fixed in inoculatedL. leucocephala andA. albida grown for 36 weeks in pots. The15N isotope-dilution (involving the addition of equal amounts of labelled N fertilizer to the non-fixing and the fixing plants) and theA-value (with different amounts of labelled N fertilizer added to the fixing and the non-fixing crops) methods were used. The isotope dilution approach gave several large negative estimates of fixed N2 inA. albida. Positive and similar values of fixed N2 were measured in all four reference crops using theA-value approach. ForL. leucocephala the isotope-dilution approach gave different estimates of fixed N2, with the different reference crops; the uninoculated N2-fixing crops indicated significantly less fixed N2 than the non-fixing reference crops. Similar values for N2 fixed inL. leucocephala were obtained using the two non-fixing trees, either by the isotope-dilution or theA-value method. On average,A. albida derived about twice as much N from fertilizer asL. leucocephala. In both species, the atom %15N excess declined by about 50% in successive harvests.

    Notes: Abstract Nitrogen fixed in 13 provenances of Acacia albida and 11 isolines of Leucaena leucocephala inoculated with effective Rhizobium strains was measured by 15N techniques and the total N difference method. In the test soil, on the average, L. leucocephala derived about 65% of its total N from atmospheric N2 fixation compared to about 20% by A. albida. Significant differences in the percentage of N derived from atmospheric N2 (% Ndfa) occurred, between provenances or isolines within species. The % Ndfa ranged from 37 to 74% within L. leucocephala and from 6 to 37 within A. albida; (equivalent to 20–50 mg N plant−1 and 4–37 mg N plant−1 for the two species over three months, respectively) and was correlated with the nodule mass (r=0.91). The time course of N2 fixation of three selected provenances (low, intermediate and good fixers) was followed at 12 weekly intervals over a 36 week period. The % Ndfa of all provenances and isolines increased with time; and except for one of the L. leucocephala provenances, % Ndfa was similar within species at the 36 weeks harvest. There was a significant correlation between % Ndfa and the amount of N2 fixed (r=0.96). Significant interactions occurred between provenances and N treatments and often growth of uninoculated but N fertilized plants was less variable than for inoculated unfertilized plants.

    Notes: A mathematical model has been developed to predict the coupled hydrodynamics and high-molecular-weight protein transport in mammalian-cell hollow-fiber bioreactors (HFBRs). The analysis applies to reactors with isotropic ultrafiltration membranes under startup conditions when the extracapillary space (ECS) is essentially unobstructed by cells. The model confirms the experimental finding that secondary ECS flows, engendered by the primary flow in the fiber lumens, can cause significant downstream polarization of ECS proteins at typical mammalian-cell HFBR operating conditions. It also reveals that the osmotic activity of the proteins, by curtailing transmembrane fluid fluxes, can influence strongly the outcome of the polarization process. In fact, at order-of-magnitude higher protein concentrations and/or lower recycle flow rates, the secondary flow velocities can be reduced by as much as six orders-of-magnitude throughout the ECS, thereby virtually eliminating the polarization problem. This result has important implications for improved reactor startup procedures.
