title: Limited Multiplication of Symbiotic Cyanobacteria of Azolla spp. on Artificial Media.
abstract: We examined various media and conditions to isolate symbiotic cyanobacteria from the leaf cavities of Azolla spp. Cyanobacteria survived and multiplied to a limited extent on a medium with fructose, Casamino Acids, yeast extract, and NaNO(3) under 1% O(2). These cyanobacteria were antigenically identical to the endosymbionts.
