Studies on Molecular Identification of Anabaena Cyanobionts of Azolla Species
Azolla is a genus of free-floating water fern which is widely distributed in aquatic habitats of the tropics and temperate regions. It is one of few vascular plants known to exhibit a symbiotic association with N2fixing blue green algae, Anabaena sp. In view of this, a study was carried out on molecular identification of Anabaena strains isolated from three Azolla species. The selected Azolla s...
متن کاملAltered nitrogenous pools induced by the azolla-anabaena azolla symbiosis.
The free amino acid and ammonia pools of Azolla caroliniana were analyzed by quantitative column chromatography on columns capable of separating all of the nitrogenous constituents normally found in physiological fluids. Comparisons were made of plants containing symbiotic algae and grown on nitrogen-free media, plants grown on media containing nitrate, and algae-free plants also grown on nitra...
متن کاملChemical Composition and the Feeding Value of Azolla (Azolla pinnata) Meal for Egg-Type Chicks
Biochemical and nutritional studies were carried out to evaluate the potential of Azolla (Azolla pinnata R. Brown) meal, AZM, as a feed resource in the diet of egg-type chicks. In a completely randomized design, 30 two weeks old Nera brown chicks were assigned to each of the four dietary treatments containing 0, 5, 10 and 15% azolla meal. Chemical analysis indicated that azolla meal contained (...
متن کاملBiodegradation of diesel fuel by an Azolla-derived bacterial consortium.
The widely distributed water fern Azolla was investigated for use as an amendment in the bioremediation of fuel-contaminated environments. In a field experiment Azolla pinnata as well as Pistia stratiotes and Salvinia molesta were applied to plots containing soil that had been surface-contaminated with diesel fuel (2.4 L m(-2)) and flooded with water. The plants quickly died and bacterial flocs...
متن کاملAzolla domestication towards a biobased economy?
Due to its phenomenal growth requiring neither nitrogen fertilizer nor arable land and its biomass composition, the mosquito fern Azolla is a candidate crop to yield food, fuels and chemicals sustainably. To advance Azolla domestication, we research its dissemination, storage and transcriptome. Methods for dissemination, cross-fertilization and cryopreservation of the symbiosis Azolla filiculoi...
