An investigation of N metabolism and pH regulation in Sphagnum using in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance and stable isotope mass spectrometry

Glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) are both present in Sphagnum and in principle both enzymes could be involved in the assimilation of ammonium. 15NH4+ application led to the formation γ- 15N-glutamine, followed by α-amino glutamate/glutamine as observed by in vivo 15N NMR....
