Abstract: Morphometric analysis was carried out on cells of Gloeotrichia sp. obtained directly from a lake and an isolate of Gloeotrichia sp. grown under laboratory conditions. The surface area of the thylakoids was 38.34 mum2 in cells from the environment compared with 23.37 for cells from culture. The amount of intrathylakoidal space was far greater in cells from the environment (28.53% of the cell volume) compared with 0.92% of the cell volume in cultured cells. The volume of the cell occupied by polyphosphate bodies was 2.53% in natural cells versus 0.21% in cultured cells. Polyhedral body cell volume was 0.67% in natural cells compared with 1.60% in cultured cells. Lipid inclusions occupied 3.71% of the cell volume in natural cells and 0.5% in cultured cells. Cyanophycin granules were few (0.03% of cell volume) in natural cells but more frequent (0.92% of cell volume) in cultured cells. The variation in cell volume of the cyanophycean inclusions is discussed in relation to the environmental conditions of the cells.

Q1 01461 Plankton
Abstract: Observations on the life history of Gloeotrichia echinulata were made during the course of a two-season study. Migration out of the sediments was preceded by increases in illumination at the sediment surface. Positive correlations were found between migration rate and both temperature and oxygen concentration. G. echinulata was found to overwinter as a spherical aggregation of akinetes embedded in a thick mucilage. Germination, triggered by light, and a short period of growth probably takes place on the sediment, before the onset of gas vacuolation and the subsequent ascent into the plankton.

Gloeotrichia nitrogen fixation rice field phycobiliprotein
Abstract: G. natans, a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium common in rice fields in the Philippines, was used for studies to establish key features of its physiol. and potential prodn. in outdoor cultures. Under optimal growth conditions (38 Deg, pH 8.0, no carbon enrichment) the specific growth rate of rice-field isolate was 0.076/h. The pH of the medium (between 6.5 and 9.0) did not influence the growth rate, but it did affect phycobiliprotein content, as reflected by a change in color. At pH 7.0 the culture was green-brown, with phycobiliproteins constituting up to 10% of the total protein, while at pH 9.0 the culture was brownish-black and the pigment content was as high as 28% of the total protein. In outdoor cultures the specific growth rate was related directly to cell d. at half this rate. At a stirring of 30 rpm, daily prodn. of outdoor cultures harvested to maintain cell densities of 0.7, 1.15 and 1.5 g L-1 were 14.7, 17.1 and 18.1 g m-2 day-1, resp. This rate of prodn. was maintained for more than 45 days. Phycobiliprotein content in the culture kept at a d. of 1.5 g L-1 reached 14% of the total biomass. [on SciFinder (R)]

Abstract: Mutants of Gloeotrichia ghosei fil1 het++ and pol- het- failed to grow on molecular nitrogen and required combined nitrogen sources. NO3- and NH4+ supported maximum growth of parent and mutant strains under aerobic conditions but not under reducing anaerobic or heterotrophic conditions. Glutamine and tryptophan were superior for the parent strain compared to inorganic nitrogen sources. By mutants only glutamine was used whereas tryptophan was inhibitory to them. Development of heterocyst and polarity in the parent and in fil1 het++ was inhibited in the presence of all combined nitrogen sources compared to molecular nitrogen which supported their formation. MSX and AZT (analogues of glutamine and tryptophan, respectively) completely inhibited the growth of all strains in the nitrogen-fixing and NH4(+)-medium. When glutamine and tryptophan were added to MSX- and AZT-containing medium, growth of parent strain was similar to that of the respective amino acids. The mutants grew only with glutamine + MSX, and tryptophan + AZT complex medium inhibited growth. [on SciFinder (R)]

Abstract: Cultures were obtained from collections and started with material collected in the field. Included were planktonic and non-planktonic forms, with and without gas vacuoles. Although assigned to different genera in classical taxonomy, all of the algae showed similarity in development, including stages in which the trichomes are not tapered and lack heterocysts. Gas vacuoles were not a constant character in any culture. Small differences were observed among cultures, but they were interpreted as being in the order of population variation not taxonomic categories.
