FIGURE 116.1 Absorption difference spectra of Oscillatoria tenuis after increasing times of exposure to UV radia tion. Spectra are obtained by subtracting the initial absorption spectrum of the unirradiated sample from each spectrum of the irradiated samples. (From Donkor, V.A. and Hader, D. P., Aquatic Microbiol. Ecol, 11, 143, 1996. 

Distribution of specific fatty acids between the C-1 and C-2 positions of the sn-glycerol moiety has been studied in strains in the first and second groups. In the filamentous cyanobacteria such as A. variabilis (Sato et al., 1979), Anabaena oylindriaa, Oscillatoria ohalybea, Nostoo aalaiaola and Tolypothrix tenuis (Zepke et al., 1978), which contain approximately the same amounts of and acids, the acids are esterified to the C-1 position, and the C acids to the C-2 position...
