Question: Acetylene reduction to ethylene is measured as
Options:
Nitrate reduction
Glutamate synthase activity
Nitrite reduction
Nâ‚‚ fixation
✅ Explanation: The acetylene reduction assay is a widely used technique to measure nitrogen fixation activity. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria possess the enzyme nitrogenase, which can also reduce acetylene to ethylene. By measuring the amount of ethylene produced, scientists can estimate the rate of nitrogen fixation.
