TL;DR
Radioactive carbon assimilated by vegetative cells of Anabaena cylindrica in the light passed via an intrafilamentous route into heterocysts in the dark and after several hours, label per heterocyst approximated label per vegetative cell.
Abstract
Radioactive carbon assimilated by vegetative cells of Anabaena cylindrica in the light passed via an intrafilamentous route into heterocysts in the dark. After several hours, label per heterocyst approximated label per vegetative cell. Much of the label entering heterocysts was not available for diffusional exchange back into vegetative cells.

Environmental conditions conducive to rapid, sure sporulation adjacent to heterocysts were established and evidence is presented in support of the hypothesis that sporulation of a vegetative cell near a heterocyst is dependent upon two processes: abatement of a sporulation-inhibiting influence which acts on the vegetativecell and a sequential process commencing adjacent to the heterocySt.

Heterocysts are in part responsible for the sporulation of vegetative cells attached to them, probably without impairment of the capacity of those vegetative Cells to sporulate.

The results emphasize the variability in appearance of the internal structure of the blue-green algae and point to the need for detailed investigations of the influence of change in physiological environment on the anatomy of these organisms.
