The morphology and ultrastructure of associative microsymbiont complexes (AMC) isolated from the ferns Azolla pinnata and Azolla sp. and the apogeotropic roots of the cycad Cycas revoluta were studied. The composition of the AMC obtained includes the cyanobionts (symbiotic cyanobacteria) and satellite bacteria (SB). It was found that two types of cyanobacteria that substantially differ in their morphological organization are likely present as cyanobionts in the coralloids of C. revoluta. The isolated cyanobiont strains exhibited the morphological traits and regularities of development typical of the genus Nostoc; they were characterized by the ability of their cells to divide in mutually perpendicular planes. When isolating AMC from different morphological zones of C. revoluta apogeotropic roots, SB growth was revealed only around the pieces corresponding to the coralloid apical zone. No AMC components were revealed around the segments of the basal growth zone. Pure cyanobiont cultures were obtained from the AMC of C. revoluta coralloids. The AMC isolated from the ferns A. pinnata and Azolla sp. are characterized by obligate mutual dependence of the partners (the cyanobiont and SB). |
