Electronmicroscopica] investigations of light activated akinetes in different phases before outgrowth of the germinating cell showed two alterations in the akinete envelope, obviously in connection with the germination process. After induction of germination the akinetes show formation of an expandi

Cells of the cyanobiont Anabaena azollae isolated from the water fern Azollafiliculoides were found to take up and utilize fructose in the light for mixotrophic growth. Fructose was favored by the cyanobiont as a substrate over sucrose and glucose. Cell growth in the presence of 8 mM fructose led to
The amino acid leucine was transported by the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis. The Km for transport was 10.8gM; the Vm,x was 8.7nmolesmin-~mg -~ chlorophyll a. Transport of leucine was energy dependent: uptake of leucine was inhibited in the dark, and by DCMU and cyanide. Transport was neither de
