Isomeric siderophores from the freshwater cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica. Itou et al reported the structural characterization of a pair of iron chelating siderophores isolated from the freshwater cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica. Both direct and long-range HSQC and HMBC data were used in the characterization of the structures.

It is striking that the glutamine synthetase of the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica is deactivated when Nj-fixing cultures are exposed to high ammonia or placed in darkness (Rowell et al., 1979). The deactivated enzyme was found to be rapidly reactivated when preincubated with mercap-toethanol and substrates for the biosynthetic reaction. This behavior is not common to all cyanobacteria but may be a characteristic of obligately autotrophic species (Rowell et al., 1979).

Nitrate reductase activity has been demonstrated in particulate fractions of Nostoc muscorum (Ortegaal., 1976), Anacystis nidulans (Manzanoet al., 1976) a.nd Anabaena cylindrica (Hattori, 1970). The enzyme is particulate and although it has been released by detergent treatment of acetone precipitates (Hattori, 1970), there has been no description of molecular characteristics. The association of the assimilatory nitrate reductase with membranes in the cyanobacterium appears to be a distinct divergence from the classification for bacterial nitrate reductases proposed by Pichinoty.
