TL;DR
A new N2-fixing unicellular cyanobacterium identified as a Synechococcus sp.
Abstract
A new N2-fixing unicellular cyanobacterium identified as a Synechococcus sp. was isolated and purified as an axenic culture. It fixed N2 aerobically either under continuous illumination or in alternating light-dark cycle. The N2-fixing properties of the new isolate and Gloeocapsa are discussed.

Revisions are designed to permit the generic identification of cultures, often difficult through use of the field-based system of phycological classification, and are both constant and readily determinable in cultured material.

It is suggested that the first step in N 2 reduction is a two-electron reduction leading to a non-dissociable intermediate at the oxidation level of diimide.
