Botany Department, University of Udaipur Udaipur, India
Received: 3 July 1972
A heterocystous, non-nitrogen-fixing mutant of the nitrogen-fixing blue-green alga Anabaena doliolum has been isolated following treatment with nitrosoguanidine and UV radiation. Some reversible variations in the habit and morphology of the alga were induced following its treatment with nitrosoguanidine.
