Nitrogen and iron interactions in filamentous cyanobacteria

Abstract: Also investigated was the relationship between siderophore-mediated iron uptake and diazotrophy in Anabaena. It was found that the strain of Anabaena used in these experiments (PCC strain 7120) is unable to make siderophores and fix nitrogen simultaneously, suggesting that previous work linking these two capabilites to competitive dominance may be in error or misinterpreted.The final aspect of this problem which was examined was the possibilty 2 of gratuitous repression of Anabaena siderophore production by ma… Show more

“…Chemical was used for the spectrophotometric determination of protein in colonies of Trichodesmium. The assay was performed as described in Hutchins (1989) for Trichodesmium colonies and the assay itself as described by the manufacturer for the "Enhanced Protocol". The BCA reagent creates a complex with protein and Cu2 + (the biuret reaction) that results in a colorimetric detection for reduced copper ions (Cul+).…”

“…Ferrozine, a spectrophotometric reagent for iron, was used to determine acid leachable iron content in field collected Trichodesmium colonies. The assay was preformed as described by Hutchins (1989) for Trichodesmium colonies. The assay is a modification of Stookey (1970) and Gibbs (1979).…”
