Lyngbya majuscula Harvey ex Gomont is a common marine cyanobacterium in tropical and subtropical near-shore waters. A few reports have indicated that L. majuscula fixes nitrogen only in the light. Because this feature is uncommon among non-heterocystous cyanobacteria, we attempted a reevaluation. Nitrogenase activity, regulation, and localization were examined over diel cycles on natural populations of L. majuscula growing in subtidal zones off Zanzibar in the western Indian Ocean. The data show that L. majuscula fixed nitrogen and synthesized nitrogenase in all cells during the dark phase of a diel cycle. During the light phase, nitrogenase was degraded to undetectable levels. |
