Abstract

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are widely distributed Gram-negative oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryotes with a long evolutionary history. They have been proved as potential candidate for food, fuel, pharmaceuticals and environmental problems. Cyanobacteria are the richest source for production of nitrogenous substances. The cyanobacterial strains were isolated from Pune and nearby region (Western ghat, India). The biomass of isolated strains was studied for total free amino acids production. Among different cyanobacterial strains studied, the strain of Phormidium fragile and Lyngbya majuscula produced total free amino acids in appreciable amount. The biomass of cyanobacterial strains were treated with various concentrations and sources of nitrate and with 1% sucrose and glucose in BG11 nutrient medium. The biomass obtained under different treatments was analyzed for free amino acids using HPLC amino acid analyser.
