Abstract
Potential nitrogen-fixing genera were found to be abundant in two natural populations of blue-green algae, one from a rocky coast and the other from a sand-dune slack. 15N studies confirmed that these populations fixed nitrogen in the laboratory and in the field. Preliminary quantitative data on Fixation in the field suggest that the algae contribute appreciable quantities of fixed nitrogen to the environments in which they occur.
