Abstract

The direct utilization by higher plants of nitrogen fixed
by blue-green algae could play a substantial part in the
Earth's nitrogen cycle. That certain species of blue-green
algae can fix nitrogen when grown in solution culture is
well established. The maintenance of soil nitrogen
supplies in rice paddy has been attributed to the growth
and fixation of nitrogen by blue-green algae. Recently it
was postulated that the blue-green algae may be important
in the nitrogen economy of grazing lands.
