简要综述了蓝藻中的转座因子。有证据表明，钝顶螺旋藻中的转座元件实际上反映在表型变化上，即螺旋状到直丝状。DNA转座中间产物是从染色体外体中分离出来的，转座与螺旋藻的螺旋变异有关。从转座机制出发，讨论了转座元件在微藻重组中的应用。
Transposable elements in cyanobacteria are briefly reviewed. Evidence is presented to show that transposable elements in Spirulina platensis is actually reflected on the phenotype change, i. e., helical to straight filaments. Transposition intermediates of DNA were isolated from the extrachromosome and the transposition was related to helical variations in Spirulina. Uses of transposable elements for microalgal recombination are discussed based on the transposition mechanism.
