A unicellular blue-green alga, Agmenellum quadruplicatum, and a filamentous blue-green alga, Lyngbya lagerheimíi, were grown heterotrophically in dim light with glucose as major source of carbon and possibly energy. The dim-light conditions did not support autotrophic growth. The two blue-green algae appeared to have the same metabolic block, namely an incomplete tricarboxylic acid cycle, as has been found in other obligately phototrophic blue-green algae. Under dim-light conditions, glucose made a greater contribution to cell constituents (amino acids) of A. quadruplicatum and L. lagerheimii than under high-light conditions.
单细胞蓝藻四集藻（Agmenellum quadruplicatum）和丝状蓝藻拉氏林氏藻（Lyngbya lagerheimíi）在弱光下以葡萄糖作为主要碳源及可能的能量来源进行异养生长。弱光条件不支持自养生长。这两种蓝藻似乎具有相同的代谢障碍，即三羧酸循环不完整，这与在其他专性光合蓝藻中发现的情况相同。在弱光条件下，葡萄糖对四集藻和拉氏林氏藻细胞成分（氨基酸）的贡献比在强光条件下更大。
