摘要
The non-heterocystous filamentous cyanobecterium Plectonema boryanum UTEX 594 grow rapidly mlcroaerobically under nitrogen-starvation conditions in continuous high light intensity by conducting oxygenic photosynthesis and oxygen sensitive nitrogen-fixation in alternating cycles. During diazotrophic phase, the light harvesting pigment phycocyanin declined with a concomitant depression in light dependent oxygen evolution by the cyanobacterium. A substantial component of light dependent carbon dioxide fixation during diazotrophic phase was not inhibited by DCMU in spite of complete cessation of photosynthetic oxygen evolution. Endogenous-reductant dependent electron transfer to photosystem I during diazotrophic phase is postulated even during photoautotrophic growth.
