Abstract: Uptake of glycine-14C was measured in 3 species of blue-green algae, viz., Oscillatoria fasorvensis, Gloeotrichia pisum, and Microcystis aeruginosa. Radioactivity in breis of Oscillatoria increased with increasing time of incubation in glycine-14C soln. (100 mCi./liter distd. water). The rate of uptake increased with the increasing ambient glycine-14C concn., the max. velocity of uptake being 4 * 10-7 moles/g. tissue/hr. The radioactivity lost from the medium is measured quant. as 14CO2 and as much as 15% of radioactivity is lost from glycine-14C at 9 * 10-7 moles/liter. The results indicate positive absorption and assimilation of glycine by blue-green algae as compared to the green alga, Spirogyra. [on SciFinder (R)]

Title: The Influence of Nitrogen on Heterocyst Production in Blue-Green Algae
Journal: Limnology and Oceanography
Volume: 14
Issue: 3
Pages: 342-351
Date: May
Abstract: A series of experiments on heterocyst production in Anabaena variabilis provides some strong indirect evidence for the role of heterocysts in nitrogen fixation. Of the algae tested (Anabaena variabilis, A inaequalis, A. cylindrica, A. flos-aquae, Tolypothrix distorta, Gloeotrichia echinulata, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, Oscillatoria sp., and Microcystis aeruginosa), only those with heterocysts grew in a nitrate-free medium. Growth in the nitrate-free medium was accompanied by an increase in heterocysts. Heterocyst formation in A. variabilis was evident 24 hr after transfer from a nitrate-containing to a nitrate-free medium. The number of heterocysts was altered by changes in the nitrogen source. Numbers were lowest when $NH_4-N$ was used as a nitrogen source and highest when nitrogen $(N_2-N) was derived from the atmosphere. Heterocyst numbers could also be regulated by controlling the concentration of $NO_2-N$ in the medium. Heterocyst production depended on the absence of combined nitrogen and the presence of phosphate. Data are presented on the occurrence of blue-green algae (with heterocysts) in Lake Erie and the environmental conditions apparently necessary for them to become dominant.

Abstract: The degree of participation of the planktonic blue-green alga Gl. echinulata in the synthesis of organic compds in water reservoirs has been evaluated. The biomass of Gloeotrichia, its photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll content, assimilation number, calorie content and wet and dry weights were determined. The results show that the productivity of Gl. echinulata is significantly lower than that of the smaller lake plankters. Nevertheless, at the high biomass which might be formed by Gloeotrichia in the reservoirs its role becomes significant.

Abstract: A study was made of the effect of different N sources in nutritive medium on the differentiation of the first heterocysts. In media with ammonium N the first heterocysts appeared later in comparison with media contg. nitrate. No differences were found in the effect of different forms of nitrate (K nO3,Mg(NO3)2,Ca(NO3)2) or ammonium ((NH4)2SO4) (I), (NH4)2H PO4 (II) (concn. 0-692.5 mg N/l.) on formation of heterocysts. I and II in concn. 27.7 Mg N/P. blocked the formation of heterocysts by Anabaena cylindrica and Nostoc species; for A. hallensis, A. variabilis, Gloeotrichia species, and N. muscorum, the development of heterocysts was observed after considerable delay.

Abstract: N fixation and photochem. redn. of elemental N were investigated in 4 blue-green algae: Anabaena cylindrica, A. oscillarioides, Nostoc comminutum, Gloeotrichia natans. About 5-10 mg. dry wt. of algae were inoculated into 100 ml. of the culture medium of Fogg (1949) or that of Allen and Arnon (1955), and incubated for 20 days under continuous illumination of .apprx.400 footcandles at 20-22 Deg. Algal material was centrifuged and dried to const. wt. Total N was detd. by the micro-Kjeldahl technique of Chibnall, Rees, and Williams (1943). Reduced N was supplied as NH4Cl at 1 micromole/ml. of suspension. Results showed that A. cylindrica, A. oscillariodds, and N. comminutum fixed N and photochem. reduced elemental N, while G. natans did not. [on SciFinder (R)]

Title: Phytoplankton Studies of Adirondack Mountain Lakes
Journal: American Midland Naturalist
Volume: 80
Issue: 2
Pages: 413-427
Date: Oct.
Abstract: The 203 taxa of plankton algae collected from six Adirondack Mountain lakes of New York are distributed in phyla as follows: Chlorophyta (127), Cyanophyta (45), Chrysophyta (20), Pyrrhophyta (7), Euglenophyta (4). Desmids (73 taxa) compose the largest group within the green algae. The number of taxa in the lakes varies from 87 to 44 and there is no correlation with any measured physical or chemical parameter. Dominants vary between lakes and the common species of dominants are Dinobryon bavaricum, Tabellaria fenestrata, Asterionella formosa, and Anabaena flos-aquae. Occurrence of dominant species in lakes may be influenced by water chemistry and underlying bedrock. A number of plankton species show a preference for one of the two bedrock types in which the lakes lie. Three species (Nephrocytium limneticum, Crucigenia rectangularis, Arthrodesmus phimus) show a high frequency of occurrence in the Adirondack lakes in comparison with other studied areas. Dominant taxa and other indicator species suggest that these lakes are in a mesotrophic stage of evolution.

Abstract: The toxicities of KMnO4 and CuSO4.5H2O were compared with respect to the concns. needed to prevent the growth of 8 algae species (Micro-cystis aeruginosa, Anabaena circinalis, Gloeotrichia echinulata, Oscillatoria rubescens, O. chalybia, Hydrodictyon reticulatum, Dictyosphaerium pulchellum, and the diatom genus Gomphonema) and the concnus. required to kill the algae with a 4-, 12-, 24-, 48-, or 72-hr. treatment. KMnO4 was about as effective against all 8 algae species after 4 hrs. of treatment as after 72. Contrastingly, tests of CuSO4.5H2O against the 2 Oscillatoria species and Hydrodictyon showed that changing the treatment time from 4 to 72 hrs. caused large differences in the concn. required to kill these algae. Despite the great variations in susceptibility to CuSO4.5H2O, ranging from 3 blue-green species killed with 0.1 ppm. CuSO4.5H2O to 2 filter-clogging species not killed by 8.0 ppm., treatment with 1-5 ppm. KMnO4 was sufficient to kill 7 of the 8 algae species. [on SciFinder (R)]

Journal: Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological Sciences
Volume: 162
Issue: 989
Pages: 517-534
Date: Jul. 27
Abstract: Following exposure in situ for periods of 3 to 24 h of samples of lake or sea waters to which $^{14}$C-bicarbonate had been added, radioactivity was found in dissolved organic matter in the water as well as in the cells of phytoplankton. The amount in the water was between 7 and 50% of the total carbon fixed in the photic zone of the water column. This production of extracellular $^{14}$C-labelled organic matter was found under a wide variety of conditions and with many different types of phytoplankton community. It thus seems likely that the widely used method, in which fixation of $^{14}$C in particulate matter only is determined, under-estimates total primary productivity. The labelled organic substances in the water are probably liberated by intact photosynthesizing cells rather than by breakage of cells during filtration. Glycollic acid is likely to be one of the principal substances concerned. Over a wide range of light intensities liberation of extracellular products by a given phytoplankton population was proportional to the amount of carbon fixed in the cells, except that it tended to be relatively greater at low light intensities (< 1 kilolux) and at light intensities high enough to inhibit photosynthesis (> 50 kilolux), when as much as 95% of the total organic $^{14}$C might be extracellular. Population density, period of exposure to $^{14}$C-bicarbonate and species differences also affect the extent of excretion. The implications of extensive liberation by phytoplankton of extracellular products of photosynthesis for our understanding of the trophic relationships in aquatic habitats seem to be considerable.

Abstract: The gas vacuoles seen in several species of blue-green algae under the light microscope are shown by electron microscopy to correspond to packed arrays of cylindrical, electron-transparent vesicles. Single vesicles average 75 millimicrons in diameter, range from 0.2 micron to 1.0 micron in length, have conical ends, and are bounded by a single membrane 2 millimicrons wide. The reversible disappearance of gas vacuoles induced by sudden application of pressure is accompanied by a reversible collapse of the individual gas vesicles.
