Selective Isolation of Blue-green Algae from Water and Soil

Allen, M. M., Stanier, R. Y.·1968·Journal of General Microbiology

Abstract

SUMMARY: For the isolation of blue-green algae from soil and fresh water, temperature is a selective factor of major importance. In a nutritionally non-selective mineral medium, which at 25° supported growth of blue-green algae and of many eucaryotic algae, the development of eucaryotic algae was almost completely suppressed by incubation at 35°. Both the number and variety of blue-green algae recoverable at 35° were greater than those recoverable from parallel cultures incubated at 25°. When a combined-nitrogen source was omitted from the enrichment medium, only blue-green algae developed at both 25° and 35°; the microflora consisted exclusively of heterocyst-forming filamentous types, other groups of blue-green algae being eliminated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
