Abstract
The Flat Bed Electrophoresis Apparatus FBE-3000 was used to obtain axe nic cultures of the two unicyanobacterial strains Synechocystis sp. an d Synechococcus sp. isolated from marine environments. All the cells e xamined migrated towards the anode with different mobilities separatin g cyanobacteria from accompanying chemoorganotrophic bacteria. Coccoid cyanobacteria remained viable in all cases while tests with filamento us species were less successful in terms of viability. However chemoor ganotrophic bacteria were efficiently eliminated even from these filam entous ones.
