Abstract

The survival under drough conditions for one year of 12 heterocystous cyanobacterial strains inoculated in three different soil types (silt clay, calcareous clay and silt loam) gave the highest survival (50%) forScytonema 208L.Fischerella 288L andNostoc OP25 also showed significant survival. Moreover, the soils inoculated withFischerella 288L andScytonema 208L had a higher total N content than non-inoculated soils.
