Untersuchungen zur Charakterisierung von marinen Cyanobakterien der Gattung Anabaena und ihrer Licht- und UV-absorbierenden Substanzen

Ten marine Anabaena strains from the Baltic Sea have been characterised and classified using morphological, chemotaxonomic, and molecular methods. A main objective of this work was the detection and analysis of light- and UV-absorbing compounds as well as extracellular coloured substances released into the liquid culture medium. One extracellular coloured substance of a particular isolate was analysed in detail using Photometry, Chromatography, SDS-Page, and Mass Spectrometry.
