Genomic And Physiological Characterisation Of Selected Arctic, Temperate And Tropical Pseudanabaena Strains
Three filamentous cyanobacteria strains obtained from the High Arctic Svalbard archipelago, temperate (England) and tropical (Malaysia) regions were characterized using combined phenotypic and genetic approaches. Morphological and ultrastructural observations were performed together with growth meas...
