The production of hydrogen peroxide by blue‐green algae: a survey1
TLDR
A survey of 38 axenic isolates of blue‐green algae indicated that over half the isolates produced hydrogen peroxide under defined growth conditions, and three kinetic profiles for the formation of hydrogenperoxide were observed.Abstract:
SUMMARY
A survey of 38 axenic isolates of blue-green algae indicated that over half the isolates produced hydrogen peroxide under defined growth conditions. Three kinetic profiles for the formation of hydrogen peroxide, were observed; these are described. The possible site or sites of hydrogen peroxide formation remain unknown.read more

[3] Culturing methods for cyanobacteria
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the culturing methods for cyanobacteria, and identifies three major systems of classification: Geitler, Drouet, and Stanier systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bromoperoxidase and iodoperoxidase enzymes and production of halogenated methanes in marine diatom cultures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe laboratory experiments on the production of various brominated and iodinated compounds in cultures of marine diatoms, obtained from the Provasoli-Guillard Center for Culture of Marine Phytoplankton collections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unicellular, aerobic nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria of the genus Cyanothece.
TL;DR: Ulastructural observations revealed that numerous inclusion granules formed between the photosynthetic membranes in cells grown under nitrogen-fixing conditions, making them particularly attractive for a detailed analysis of the interaction of nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis in an aerobic diazotroph.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Antifouling Potential of Functionalized Copper Nanoparticles
TL;DR: Biological experiments show that Cu NP/polymer composites exhibit antimicrobial activity similar to that of conventional copper-based biocides, and have a strong potential for use in antibacterial or marine antifouling coatings.

Photosynthetic Production of Hydrogen Peroxide by Anacystis nidulans.
C. O. Pat Patterson,Jack Myers +1 more
TL;DR: H( 2)O(2) production is regarded as a metabolic defect observable in Anacystis most dramatically during the transition from a very low rate of oxidative dark metabolism to a high rate of photosynthetic metabolism.

Role of h2o2 in single-cell growth of the blue-green alga, anacystis nidulans1
James E. Marler,C. Baalen +1 more
TL;DR: The H2O2 sensitivity of Anacystis was unexpectedly high; ≈ 50 μg/liter inhibited single cells on the surface of agar plates; however, other blue‐greens tested had not this exaggerated sensitivity and may have an ecological role.
