## Abstract IAAAbbreviations used: IAA, indoleβ3βacetic acid; NAA, Ξ±βnaphthalene acetic acid; GA, Gibberellic acid; IPA, 3βindole propionic acid; IBA, 3βindole butyric acid; PAA, phenyl acetic acid was found to stimulate growth, nitrogen fixation and pigment synthesis in __Anabaena doliolum__ in a
## Abstract Growth and fixation of nitrogen were retarded in __Anabaena doliolum__ when grown on elemental nitrogen in presence of four different herbicides. The alga was found to be intolerant to these chemicals under nitrogen fixing conditions even in low concentrations. An inhibition of photosyn
## Abstract The effects of the pesticide hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) on the nitrogen fixing blueβgreen algae __Anabaenopsis raciborskii__ and __Anabaena aphanizomenoides__ commonly found as blooms in fish ponds were studied. These algae were very sensitive to HCH, and a distinct decrease in growth
## Abstract Nitrogenβfixation by two species of __Nostoc__, one of them a lichen phycobiont, was generally stimulated by low concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, nickel, lead, palladium, and zinc. Higher concentrations (0.025 to 0.125 ppm) of arsenic, nickel, and palladium were also stimulatory; how
