Abstract excerpt
A thalium chloride-resistant (TlCl(r)) mutant strain and a sodium chloride-resistant (NaCl(r)) mutant strain of the diazotrophic cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis have been isolated by spontaneous and chemical mutagenesis by using TlCl, a potassium (K(+)) analog, and nitrosoguanidine (NTG), respectively. The TlCl(r) mutant strain was found to be defective in K(+) transport and showed resistance against 10 microM...
