Heterocysts reduce triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) faster than vegetative cells apparently because the absence of the Q-evolving photosystem II and the high electron transport activity in these cells. Although the rate of TTC reduction in vegetative cells is increased by the continuous removal

## Abstract In the blueβgreen alga __Anabaena doliolum__ heterocyst differentiation is sequential and independent of vegetative growth. Its control is photosynthetic in nature. The nature of growth curves obtained in nitrate and nitrogenβfree media indicates that the heterocyst regulates vegetative
## Abstract Cells between two intercalary heterocysts differentiate at random into spores in __A. circinalis__. One or more cells, which fail to transform into spores, are present between the two adjacent spores, and these cells disorganize later. A critical C:N ratio regulates sporulation and hete
## Abstract Chains of multiple heterocysts form in __Anabaena__ und __Calothrix__ filaments on treatment with rifampicin. The multiple heterocysts form irrespective of whether the rifampicin treatment is given in combined nitrogenβfree or supplemented medium. This suggests the possibility of involv
