The mature akinete coat of a Cylindrospermum species contains laminar layers, not present in immature akinetes, and a thickened intermediate layer.

Two cyanobacterial strains KUT1-PS and 18C-PS were collected from the soil surface vernal pool, respectively, Basantgarh village, Udhampur district of union territory Jammu Kashmir, India characterized by a polyphasic approach. The morphological characterization indicated that both showed typical Cylindrospermum-like morphology probably belonged to genus Cylindrospermum. Further, phylogenetic i...

Effects of chemical fertilizers (urea, super phosphate and potash) on toxicities of two carbamate insecticides, carbaryl and carbofuran, individually to the N2-fixing cyanobacterium, Cylindrospermum sp. were studied in vitro at partially lethal levels (below highest permissive concentrations) of each insecticide. The average number of vegetative cells between two polar heterocysts was 16.3 in c...

Were made from different water and soil samples. Akinetes formation was observed during the incubation of samples (cultures) at 4ºC for six months period. Germination akinetes took place only after transferring isolate to a new culture media 26ºC. The gradual steps germination were followed illustrated first time in this species. results showed that outer most layer may expand available referen...

The algal flora of five stations from paddy-fields of Golestan Province was investigated between October 2006 and September 2007. Eight filamentous heterocystous Nostocacean are recorded here for the first time from paddy fields of iran: Cylindrospermum licheniforme, Cylindrospermum stangnale, Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, Calothrix ghosei, Gloeotrichia longiarticulata, Aulosira implexa var. ...

Antibacterial activity of two cyanobacterial strains i.e. Nostoc polludosum and Cylindrospermum licheniforme was studied. Both cyanobacterial strains were isolated from agricultural fields of Varanasi, India. Crude extracts of both strains in five solvents i.e. Ethanol, Petroleum ether, Acetone, Methanol, and Chloroform were screened against two human pathogenic bacteria i.e. S. aureus and E. c...
