Atmospheric transfer of carbon-14: a problem in fungus translocation studies |
|
| Authors: | C P Reid F W Woods |
| Abstract: | The carbon-14-labeled carbon dioxide that is released by respiration after glucose labeled with carbon-14 is applied to fungal mycelium can be reabsorbed in highly significant amounts by distant mycelium and agar media in the same petri dishes. Atmospheric transfer of carbon-14 must be considered when using labeled organic compounds to study translocation in fungi. |
