 Anabaena [SoBS - UoB]
Anabaena, a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium, is one of the major genera responsible for the formation of hazardous floating water blooms worldwide.
It is important to develop an understanding of the genetic structure of Anabaena populations in order to devise robust taxonomies, to test linkage between different characters and to allow predictions about how responses by individual members to altered environmental conditions will propagate through whole populations.
Phenotypic analyses focused mainly on the shape of the filament, dimensions of heterocysts and vegetative cells and the strength of gas vesicles.

A cluster of filaments of the cyanobacterium Anabaena.
Anabaena, in common with the other cyanobacteria, secretes a mucilaginous sheath, and under the microscope the individual filaments can be seen in constant slow gliding motion.
These are the sites of nitrogen fixation in Anabaena and other genera which possess them, but some cyanobacteria which have no heterocysts are also capable of N fixation.

 Julie Rumble's Research proposal for Summer 2000
Anabaena, a filamentous cyanobacterium, is remarkable in that it has both the abilities to harness the sun's energy and to fix nitrogen, two mutually exclusive processes.
Anabaena, therefore has a mechanism by which it must separate the two reactions-nitrogen fixation only occurs in specialized cells called heterocysts, which are fairly evenly spaced along the filament.
To accomplish this, Anabaena will be grown on a nitrogen-rich medium, and the nitrogen will then be washed out of the medium to see if it will still develop heterocysts.

Pyrenoids are localized concentrations of ribulose 1-5 bisphophate carboxylase-oxygenase (rubisco), the enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of carbon dioxide to glucose.
The body of Euglena anabaena is spindle-shaped, as is the case for many of the Euglena species, and is covered by an elastic membrane complex called the pellicle.
The sequence of Euglena anabaena was added to the aligned sequences obtained from the SSU rDNA databank at the University of Antwerp (maintained by Van de Peer, Nicolai, De Rijk, and De Wachter).

Among Maryland’s tidal waters, Anabaena species and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae are frequently found in freshwaters of the Potomac River and the upper Chesapeake Bay.
Anabaena is one of four genera of bluegreen algae capable of producing neurotoxins along with Oscillatoria, Lyngbya and Aphanizomenon.
The best way to minimize animal poisonings by these species that produce cyanotoxins is to recognize you are in the area of a bloom and keep animals away from the waters that may be toxic.

 Species Of Blue-Green Algae Announces IPO
Anabaena, a photosynthesizing, nitrogen-fixing algae with 1999 revenues estimated at $0 billion, will offer 200 million shares on the NASDAQ exchange next Wednesday under the stock symbol ALG.
Despite the fact that Anabaena has failed to turn a profitable quarter since its founding in the early Proterozoic Era, Wall Street experts said the algae's good name and substantial liquid holdings should more than compensate.
Despite such reservations, as well as a general concern on Wall Street over IPO oversaturation, Anabaena is expected to be a hot property when it makes its bow next week.
