Abstract excerpt
Diazotrophic heterocystous cyanobacteria Nostoc calcicola and Anabaena sp. ARM 629 were investigated for their ability to grow in presence of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or carbon dioxide (CO2) under cultural conditions. Maximum growth was observed in 75 mM NaHCO3 and 5% CO2 in N. calcicola and Anabaena ARM 629, respectively. Although their growth rate declined, N. calcicola and Anabaena sp. could tolerate upto...
