چکیده

A thiobencarb dose of 3 mg L(-1) reduced the protein content of Anabaena variabilis, whereas it elevated the carbohydrate content. Measurements of Anabaena growth, photosynthetic activity, and respiration rate revealed that the high dose of phosphate (0.53 mM) exerted no additional toxic effect to thiobencarb toxicity. Recovery of Anabaena cells from the inhibitory effect of thiobencarb occurred immediately after its reculture in herbicide free-medium. Maximum uptake of thiobencarb was associated with high biomass yield.

Nutrient modulated alkaline phosphatase and associated processes in diazotrophic cyanobacteria.

Nutrient regulation of alkaline phosphatase (phosphomonoesterase - PMEase) was studied in some diazotrophic cyanobacterial strains like Anabaena variabilis, Anabaena torulosa, Calothrix brevissima, Scytonema javanicum and Hapalosiphon intricatus, in response to the macronutrients (Phosphate, Calcium and Magnesium) and the micronutrients (Zinc, Copper, Iron and Manganese). The phosphate grown ce...

Uptake and Utilization of Sulfonic Acids in the Cyanobacterial Strains

Growth of several cyanobacteria was examined on ethane sulfonate and taurine as only sulfur source. Comparing two strains with differential utilization of sulfonic acids (Anabaena variabilis and Synechococcus 6301) demonstrated that actual growth was coupled to the presence of an active sulfonate transport system due to species specific properties and nutritional conditions. Sulfonate uptake in...

Arrhenius Plots Indicate Localization of Photosynthetic and Respiratory Electron Transport in Different Membrane Regions of A nabaena

Photosynthesis, Respiration, Blue-Green Algae, Arrhenius Plots, Phase Transition Temperatures Photosynthetic and respiratory electron-transport reactions by the blue-green alga, Anabaena variabilis, exhibit a strict temperature dependence in vivo as well as in the cell-free system. The ratio of respiratory oxygen uptake in the dark and oxygen evolution in the light is high after growth at low t...

High cell density culture of Anabaena variabilis with controlled light intensity and nutrient supply.

Controlling the light energy and major nutrients is important for high cell density culture of cyanobacterial cells. The growth phase of Anabaena variabilis can be divided into an exponential growth phase and a deceleration phase. In this study, the cell growth in the deceleration phase showed a linear growth pattern. Both the period of the exponential growth phase and the average cell growth r...

Differential regulation by low temperature of the gene for an RNA-binding protein, rbpA3, in the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis strain M3.

The RbpA3 protein of Anabaena variabilis contains one RNA-binding domain with a carboxy-terminal glycinerich domain. Levels of two transcripts of the rbpA3 gene were differentially regulated by growth temperature. The RbpA3 protein is related to the RbpC protein within the group of cyanobacterial Rbps.
