| Abstract: | Schizokinen, a high affinity iron transport compound (siderochrome), previously described from Bacillus megaterium, has been isolated and characterized from low-iron cultures of a bluegreen alga, Anabaena sp. No conclusive evidence for production of an iron-repressible hydroxamate or catechol type siderochrome was observed in certain other bluegreen algae, such as Anabaena cylindrica Lemm., Coccochloris peniocystis (Kütz.) Drouet & Daily, Anacystis sp., Gloeocapsa alpicola (Lyng.) Born. or Chroococcus sp. |
