Abstract
The sodium salicylate method for nitrate determination in liquids was adapted for the use in microtiter plates and the applicability of this quick, easy and economic test was examined for cyanobacterial mineral media. The assay was found to be suitable for a direct detection of nitrate ions up to a concentration of 450 mg L−1 within the commonly used mineral media BG-11, BBM, ASN-III and Zarrouk. The salicylate method was successfully used for the correlation of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 6301 cell growth and nitrate consumption over 17 cultivation days.
