How was the absorbtion of peptides and amino acids confirmed? I know that
individual ATOMS can be labelled by using a radioactive isotope, but this
could not tell you if the nitrogen entered the plant as petpides or as
ammonium ions?
I suppose this then is a possible route by which CP might eventually loose
their chlorophyll and become TOTALLY carnivorous!
It also suggests that feeding plants real insects (ie. meal worm beetles)
would be of greater benefit than just drippling fertilizer in the trap.
