Abstract: 1. Impacts of three cobalt (Co) concentrations were examined on heterocyst frequency and growth rate in four diazotrophic cyanobacteria species in nitrogen (N)-depleted culture and growth rate in one non-diazotrophic species in N-replete culture. After 11 days in batch culture, heterocyst frequency (HF, % of all cells that are heterocysts) increased from 4.1-5.7% to 5.4-7.4% to 5.9-9.3% at 0.17, 17 and 170 nmol L -1 Co, implicating Co in heterocyst differentiation. Growth rate was not significantly affected by… Show more
