Abstract

The ability of some unicellular blue-green algae to grow at the expense of N2 under aerobic conditions has been confirmed and the distribution of this property in the Chroococcaceae has been investigated. It appears to be confined to strains with spherical cells enclosed by the multilaminate sheaths characteristic of the genus Gloeocapsa. Only two unicellular blue-green algae of this type are now available in pure culture; and their properties are so similar that they may well be independent isolates of the same species.
