Limited Multiplication of Symbiotic Cyanobacteria of Azolla spp. on Artificial Media.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined various media and conditions to isolate symbiotic cyanobacteria from the leaf cavities of Azolla spp. Cyanobacteria survived and multiplied to a limited extent on a medium with fructose, Casamino Acids, yeast extract, and NaNO(3) under 1% O(2). These cyanobacteria were antigenically identical to the endosymbionts.

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 کاملSynergistic effect of deoxyanthocyanins from symbiotic fern Azolla spp. on hrmA gene induction in the cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme.
The hrmA gene of the N2-fixing cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme functions in repressing the formation of transitory motile filaments, termed hormogonia, by plant-associated vegetative filaments. Here, we report that anthocyanins can contribute to induction of hrmA expression. Aqueous extract from fronds of the fern Azolla pinnata, a host of symbiotic Nostoc spp., was found to be a potent induc...
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 کاملPhenotypic and genotypic comparison of symbiotic and free-living cyanobacteria from a single field site.
PCR amplification techniques were used to compare cyanobacterial symbionts from a cyanobacterium-bryophyte symbiosis and free-living cyanobacteria from the same field site. Thirty-one symbiotic cyanobacteria were isolated from the hornwort Phaeoceros sp. at several closely spaced locations, and 40 free-living cyanobacteria were isolated from the immediate vicinity of the same plants. One of the...
متن کاملWastewater Treatment by Azolla Filiculoides: A Study on Color, Odor, COD, Nitrate, and Phosphate Removal
The aquatic fern Azolla, a small-leaf floating plant that lives in symbiosis with a nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria (Anabaena), is an outstanding plant, thanks to its high biomass productivity along with its tremendous rate per unit area for nitrogen-fixation. The present study investigates the potential growth of Azolla in secondary effluents for removal of COD, phosphorus, and nitrogen. Resul...
