The Effect of Nitrates, pH, and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon Concentrations on the Extracellular Polysaccharide of Three Strains of Cyanobacteria Belonging to the Family Nostocaceae

Three strains of cyanobacteria (Anabaena PCC7120, A. variabilis and Nostoc commune), all belonging to the family Nostocaceae, were found to be capable of modulating the production and chemical composition of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) in response to carbon and nitrogen availability as well...
