Abstract
Mastigocladus laminosus Cohn, a blue-green alga of hot springs, has been obtained in pure bacteria-free culture and has been shown to be capable of fixing elementary nitrogen. This appears to be the first instance in which this capacity has been demonstrated in a blue-green alga belonging to a family other than the Nostocaceae.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
