Abstract
Induction of spore differentiation is achieved within three days in Nodularia spumigena by incubating the cultures at 35°C in the light. Morphologically detectable sporulation and spore germination could not occur in the presence of chloramphenicol, streptomycin and penicillin. But chloramphenicol‐supplemented cultures developed prominent cyanophycin granules. Synthesis of these granules seems to be a non‐ribosomal phenomenon.
