Anabaena is a genus of filamentous cyanobacteria that exist as plankton. They are known for nitrogen-fixing abilities, and they form symbiotic relationships with certain plants, such as the …

Anabaena is a genus of nitrogen-fixing blue-green algae that grows as plankton in shallow water and on moist soil. Its cells resemble beads or barrels and are interspersed with larger spores …

Apr 29, 2024 · Nitrogen fixation is a significant function of Anabaena. It converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which is a nutrient for plants. This process is carried out by …

Nitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria in the oceans can fix up to twice as much nitrogen as on land. Anabaena are special amongst cyanobacteria in that they have heterocysts, which are …

Anabaena, genus of nitrogen-fixing blue-green algae with beadlike or barrel-like cells and interspersed enlarged spores (heterocysts), found as plankton in shallow water and on moist …

We evaluated important candidate genes involved in nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis in vegetative cells and heterocysts from Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 at the transcriptome …

In particular, the genus Anabaena forms filaments in which some cells differentiate, forming patterns to effectively provide nitrogen for the colony. We present a theory that combines …

Jul 5, 2007 · Using high-resolution nanometer-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) in conjunction with enriched H 13 CO 3− and 15 N 2 incubations of Anabaena …

Nitrogen Fixation by Anabaena. Vegetative cells differentiate into heterocysts at semi regular intervals along the filaments when nitrogen is scarce. Heterocyst cells are nitrogen-fixing cells …

Apr 9, 2024 · Through a process known as nitrogen fixation, Anabaena orchestrates the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into the precious compound ammonia (NH3), a feat of …
