Abstract
Anabaena azollae (AS-DS), isolated from Azolla filiculoides and grown in nitrogen-free medium, was immobilized in 5-mm-cube polyvinyl foam p ieces and incorporated into a photobioreactor system for the productio n of NH3. NH3 was produced continuously and in significant amounts. Be nlate (methyl-1-butyl-carbamoyl)-2-benzimidazole carbamate) at 5 ppm a nd L-methionine-D,L-sulphoximine at 50 muM stimulated NH3 production c ontinuously for a period of 1 week.
