Sodium: a factor in growth of blue-green algae
- Michigan State Univ., East Lansing, MI (United States)
The response of heterocystous blue-green algae to varying concentrations of sodium was examined in axenic culture as well as in situ studies. Laboratory cultures of Anabaena cylindrica were treated with four concentrations of sodium and three concentrations of nitrate to determine the response in terms of rates of acetylene reduction, 14C assimilation, excretion of organic carbon, concentration of chlorophyll a, particulate organic carbon, particulate organic nitrogen, and heterocyst and filament numbers.
