Abstract

Summary Several subclones of the cyanophyte Gloeocapsa strain 6509 were intercompared in respect of their growth characteristics and nitrogen fixing capacities. Low level significant differences were observed between mean cell lengths of fast-growing and slow-growing subclones. The observed variability in respect of growth and nitrogen fixation may be prima facie indicative of existence of genetically distinct clonal or subclonal populations of the alga in natural habitats.
