The wild typeNostoc muscorum(UW strain) has yielded various physiological mutants altered in utilization of sulphate, following mutagenic treatments with N‐methyl, N′‐nitro N‐nitrosoguanidine (NTG). One of the mutant strains designated as Sat‐20 failed to grow in a medium containing sulphate (MgSO4· 7 H2O). However, the mutant strain could grow when supplemented with thiosulphate (Na2S2O3· 5 H2O), while methionine could fulfil the sulphur requirement only partially. On comparative reasons, the wild type as well as the mutant showed preference for thiosulphate over other sulphur sources employed.
