Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
The effects of pH values, nutrients, and preserving temperature on akinete formation in Anabaena flos-aquae were examined at 30 ± 2°C exposed to fluorescent light at an intensity of 3000 lux. A marked effect of pH 6 and pH 7 on akinete formation was observed. At the third day, A. flos-aquae subjected to pH 6 and pH 7 developed the maximum frequency of akinetes. Saccharose and glucose are also important factors inducing akinete formation, with the frequency of 15% and 11%, respectively. Besides, lower temperature (4°C) makes a great contribution for the strain to possess the potential to form akinetes.
