Abstract
Heterocysts are formed abundantly in cultures of Anabaena flos-aquae A-37 which are fixing nitrogen. Fewer are formed in the presence of NO3− ions, whereas none occurred in the presence of NH4+ ions. The results indicate that heterocysts may have a role in nitrogen metabolism.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
