Kovács, Sándor Herodek Abstract The effects of NH 4* addition on the metabolism, growth and N2 fixation of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii was investigated in phosphorous limited (N/P ratio = 20) chemostats. In the first series of chemostat experiment, the algal cultures were supplied with medium containing NH/, while in the second experiment the culture medium was free of dissolved nitrogen. At these slower growth rates, the C/N ratios did not differ significantly from the optimal Redfield ratio (5.6 by mass). With increasing dilution rates the C/N ratio decreased, especially in the presence of NTV. The reduction in the C/N ratio was caused by the increased PN to dry weight ratio as the PC to dry weight quotient did not change markedly. The carotenoid to chlorophyll-a ratio also was decreased in response to an increase in the dilution rate at both nitrogen forms. This tendency was due to the increase of chlorophyll-a to dry weight ratio. The algal biomasses of cultures growing exclusively on fixed nitrogen were markedly smaller, than with that of additional NIL' supply. NH/ addition reduced the minimum (maintenance) phosphorous cell quota (Q„) of the cells and increased the maximum growth rate of the culture. The fixation of atmospheric N2 was partly blocked by NH/ at the smaller dilution rates and was entirely stopped at higher ones. The blocking of the N 2-fixation was probably caused by the high PN content of the cells and the high NH/ concentration in the culture.
