| Abstract: | Evidence is presented here that axenic cultures of Nostoc spp., Aphanocapsa (PCC 6308), and Aphanocapsa (PCC 6714) but not Anacystis nidulans R-2 (PCC 7942) produce N2O and ammonia when grown on nitrite. The data suggest that the cyanobacteria produce N2O by nitrite reduction to ammonia.Nonstandard abbreviations DCMU
