1. Anabaena cylindrica Lemin. has been obtained in pure unialgal bacteria-free culture. 2. Due precautions having been taken against contamination by other organisms and error due to absorption of fixed nitrogen from the atmosphere, this alga has been shown to possess the capacity of fixing nitrogen. 3. Nitrogen fixation does not take place in the presence of a sufficient quantity of readily available combined nitrogen.

This study is sought to compare the effects of herbicide simazine (2-chloro 4,-6-bis (ethylamino)-S-triazine) on cellular corrponents of control and the treated cells of the blue-green alga (cyanobacterium) Anacystis nidulans, which are well defined and documented. The extent to which this initial interpretation of observations are realities, must be determined by biochemical and perhaps cytochemical techniques as well.

A study was made on the toxicity of polymyxin B to two blue-green algae. Above a critical cell density, the toxicity level of polymyxin related to cell density of Anacystis nidulans and Chlorogloea fritschii was approximately linear. Below this the toxicity level was almost independent of cell density. Polymyxin was much more toxic to A. nidulans in the light than in the dark. Contrary to what might be expected from the known properties of polymyxin, no interference with polymyxin toxicity by any cation could be detected.
