Some phytoplankton utilized a novel mechanism for obtaining nitrogen from primary amines. They oxidized the primary amines to produce extracellular hydrogen peroxide and aldehydes and used the third reaction product, ammonium, as a nitrogen source. The specificity, regulation, inhibition by bromoethylamine, and potential dependence on copper of this process are described.
一些浮游植物利用一种新颖的机制从伯胺中获取氮。它们将伯胺氧化为细胞外的过氧化氢和醛，并将第三种反应产物铵用作氮源。本文描述了该过程的特异性、调控、溴乙胺的抑制作用以及对铜的潜在依赖性。
