Research Abstract |
We explored dinitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria and their infectious bacteriophages in coastal areas of Japan for construction of a platform toward the next generation photo-fermentation. Our results revealed that dinitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria were abundant in the area, suggesting that the cyanobacteria may play important roles for formation of marine resource environments. In addition, we succeeded in isolation of three dinitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria that is considered to be available for photo-fermentation.
