Standardization of Substrate and Buffer Concentrations for In-Vivo Nitrate Reductase Activity in Adenanthera Microsperma Leaves

The combination of different substrate concentrations (0.05M, 0.10M, 0.15M, 0.20M and 0.25M, KNO3) with different pH of phosphate buffer (0.10 M and 0.20 M, KH2PO4 of the pH 7.0, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, and 7.8) solutions were tried for in-vivo nitrate reductase activity of Adenanthera microsperma leaves. Maximum nitrate reductase activity was observed in the combination of buffer solution (0.20M KH2PO4) having pH 7.7 and substrate solution 0.20 M concentration.
