dc.description.abstract	Thiosulfate was tested as a possible electron donor for anoxygenic photosynthesis in the blue-green algae Anacystis nidulans, Nostoc muscorum, Anabaena variabilis, and Anabaena flos-aquae. Thiosulfate did not appear to be appreciably toxic to cell growth in any of the species examined, but it also did not seem to stimulate growth. No electron donation by thiosulfate was demonstrated for any of the organisms, using 3(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl urea (DCMU), an inhibitor of photosystem II of the photosynthetic apparatus, as a check.	en
