- An
akinete is an enveloped, thick-walled, non-motile,
dormant cell
formed by filamentous, heterocyst-forming
cyanobacteria under the
order Nostocales...

converted into
thick walled akinetes. Food
reserves are ac****ulated
within the
akinetes. When the
conditions are
favourable each

heterocysts (for
nitrogen fixation),
akinetes (resting
stage cells), and
hormogonia (reproductive,

- heterocyst-forming
bacteria can
differentiate into spore-like
cells called akinetes or
motile cells called hormogonia,
making them the most phenotypically...
