Abstract

A pigment-deficient mutant ofNostoc sp. was induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and selected in a medium containing metronidazole. It formed chains of heterocysts, grew more slowly than the control, and excreted hydroxyproline into the medium, imparting a pinkish-brown colour to the cultures.
