The growth of Anabaena flos‐aquae A‐37 has been shown to be severely limited by the absence of either sodium or potassium from the culture medium. Neither element is capable of replacing the other. The addition of sodium to sodium‐starved cells restores growth while potassium‐starved cells are not affected by the addition of potassium.
