Under water and acid hydrolysis copper acetylide produces essentially acetylene.
Samples assayed for nitrogenase activity by acetylene reduction indicated that nitrogenase activity occurred in the dark.
Even the possibility of methanogenic life consuming acetylene and hydrogen or silane-based life in hydrocarbon lakes has been speculated.
Localization of nitrogenase activity as assayed by acetylene reduction.
The gas phase in the syringe was replaced with acetylene (10% v/v) and the syringe was incubated for 25 mins.
The chemical synthesis begins with the formation of acetylene, the first building block of benzene, in carbon stars.
The acetylene reduction assay for measuring nitrogen fixation in waterlogged soil.
Overturning may drive suspension and redistribution of solid acetylene on the lake bottom.
