Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The model predicted compartmentalized oxygen concentrations between infected and uninfected nodule cells.
- Mechanism High oxygen in uninfected cells was predicted as necessary for efficient uricase operation and ureide synthesis.
- Mechanism Low oxygen across most infected cells was predicted to provide a suitable environment for nitrogen fixation.
- Observation The model predicted significant oxygen fluxes between infected and uninfected cell types.
- Mechanism The authors predict significant resistance to oxygen diffusion at the cell interface from plasmalemma and walls.
