## Abstract __Nostoc muscorum__ could grow heterotrophically and successfully utilized a number of different sugars. Glucose proved to be the best sugar tested for growth and nitrogen fixation. However, citrate was outstanding among the different organic acids tried in allowing a substantial algal

## Abstract The autotrophic and photoheterotrophic growth of light preβtreated and dark preβtreated strains of Westiellopsis prolifica was decreased in the presence of NH, NO and urea in the culture medium. On dark incubation, after preβtreatment with light as well as in the dark, the alga showed b
## Abstract Experiments were conducted to study the effect of five different organic substrates viz. lactose, fructose, mannose, xylose and sodium acetate on the heterotrophic growth characteristics with emphasis on growth, pigment composition, heterocyst frequency and nitrogen fixation of __Anabae
1. The metabolic patterns of Chlorogloea ]ritschii, a blue-green alga capable of growing both heterotrophically and autotrophically, were analyzed in cells grown with different carbon and energy sources. 2. The distribution of isotopic carbon incorporated into ceils grown on combinations of CO 2, s
1. Growth requirements of blue-green algae containing only the c-phycocyanin -[-chlorophyll a pigment system have been studied under blue light (380--540 nm) which approximates light conditions existing in subsurface waters in nature. 2. While a few species were capable of very slow photosynthetic
