摘要

Trichodesmium is the first described example of a filamentous cyanobacterium without heterocysts that contains cells specialised for nitrogen fixation. The ultrastructure of cells with and without nitrogenase were compared using primarily Trichodesmium tenue Wille, but also T. thiebautii Gomont and T. erythraeum Ehrenberg et Gomont. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the cytoplasm of certain cells was densely labelled with antibodies against Fe-protein (dinitrogenase reductase). Comparative TEM-image analysis revealed that these cells were also distinguished by a denser thylakoid network. dividing the vacuole-like space into smaller units. The nitrogenase-containing cells also exhibited less extensive gas vacuoles as well as fewer and smaller cyanophycin granules compared to cells which lacked nitrogenase. Carboxysomes were present in both cell types in equal proportion. Longitudinal sections showed that cells with nitrogenase were arranged adjacent to each other, and that groups of cells with and without nitrogenase may coexist in the same trichome. The correlation between modifications in ultrastructure and the presence of nitrogenase suggests a new type of cyanobacterial cell specialisation related to nitrogen fixation. The results obtained also question the systematic affiliation of the genus Trichodesmium. [References: 36]
