Cell-flee extracts capable of acetylene reduction and cyanide reduction have been prepared from heterocystous (Anabaena cylindrica) and non-heteroeystous (Plectonema boryanum 594) blue-green algae. Extracts from Anabaena were obtained from cultures grown in bulk under aerobic conditions, while the P

The non-heteroeystous filamentous blue-green alga, Plectonema boryanum strain 594 reduces acetylene to ethylene, incorporates 15N 2 into cell protoplasm, and grows readily in medium free of combined nitrogen, when incubated in a gas phase without added oxygen. Cells grown in the presence of 50 mg/1

The free amino acid pools in the nitrogen-fixing blue-green algae Anabaena cylindrica, A. flos-aquae and Westiellopsis prolifica contain a variety of amino acids with aspartic acid, glutamic acid and the amide glutamine being present in much higher concentrations than the others. This pattern is cha
