Cyanoprokaryotic taxa Nostoc paludosum Kützing ex Bornet & Flahault and Nostoc punctiforme (Kützing) Hariot may have allelopathic effects on two moss taxa, Bryum subapiculatum Hampe and Funaria hygrometrica Hedwig, grown in vitro under 66% and 99% percentages of soil water holding capacity. Nostoc filaments destroyed protonema of B. subapiculatum and arrested gametophores development of F. hygrometrica under these conditions. Colonies of the diatom Navicula cryptocephala var. veneta (Kützing) Grun. grew in a large amount and delayed the growth of B. subapiculatum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
