- An
akinete is an enveloped, thick-walled, non-motile,
dormant cell
formed by both
cyanobacteria and algae.
Cyanobacterial akinetes are
mainly formed by...
-
converted into
thick walled akinetes. Food
reserves are ac****ulated
within the
akinetes. When the
conditions are
favourable each
akinete develops into a new plant...
- heterocyst-forming
bacteria can
differentiate into spore-like
cells called akinetes or
motile cells called hormogonia,
making them the most phenotypically...
-
functional cell
differentiation such as
heterocysts (for
nitrogen fixation),
akinetes (resting
stage cells), and
hormogonia (reproductive,
motile filaments)...
- unicellular,
filamentous cyanobacteria, and some may
contain heterocysts and
akinetes.
Cyanobacteria differentiate into
hormogonia when
exposed to an environmental...
- food reserves. An
akinete spore is large, non-motile, and
thick walled, the wall of

fused to that of the
parent cell.

- gliding. This
species produces two
differentiated cells, heterocysts, and
akinetes.
Aphanizomenon ovalisporum uses
oxygenic photosynthesis, like
other cyanobacteria...

terrestrial environments,
where it
grows in
colonies attached to the substrate.
Akinetes are not known, and the

- Like all Oscillatoriales,
Planktothrix species have no
heterocysts and no
akinetes.
Planktothrix are
unique because they have
trichomes and
contain gas vacuoles...
-
heterocystous cyanobacteria that
reproduces by
fragmentation and with
akinetes.
Anabaenopsis can
produce microcystins,
which are
toxic to both humans...
