Abstract
Lighting regime directly influences the process of biological nitrogen fixation carried out by algae Nostoc gelatinosum (Schousb) Elenk. and Cylindrospermum licheniforme (Bory) Kutz. The natural light contributes to the intensification of biological fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in these algae, and the dark regime leads to inhibition the biological nitrogen fixation. Biological nitrogen fixation by blue-green algae achieved by Cylindrospermum licheniforme and Nostoc gelatinosum is a reversible self-regulating process.
