Cyanobacteria carry out oxygenic photosynthesis, play a key role in the cycling of carbon
and nitrogen in the biosphere, and have had a large impact on the evolution of life and the …

Within the wide biodiversity that is found in the bacterial world, Cyanobacteria represents a
unique phylogenetic group that is responsible for a key metabolic process in the biosphere …

Filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria are among the simplest multicellular systems
in Nature. In the absence of combined nitrogen, the filaments consist of vegetative cells that …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, like all members of the genus
Pseudomonas, has the capacity to thrive in very different environments, ranging from water …

Heterocysts, formed when filamentous cyanobacteria, such as Anabaena sp. strain PCC
7120, are grown in the absence of combined nitrogen, are cells that are specialized in fixing …

Cyanobacteria are a very particular group of photoautotrophic prokaryotic organisms with
major ecological significance in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Most cyanobacterial strains …

The cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria contain a variety of glycopolymers (CWGPs), a
significant proportion of which are covalently linked to the peptidoglycan (PGN) scaffolding …

The filamentous, heterocyst‐forming cyanobacteria are multicellular organisms in which two
different cell types, the CO2‐fixing vegetative cells and the N2‐fixing heterocysts, exchange …

This handbook acquaints readers with the exciting developments in various areas of
cyanobacterial research in the backdrop of the publication of complete genome sequence of …

Anabaena variabilis is a filamentous cyanobacterium that is capable to differentiate
specialized cells, the heterocysts and akinetes, to survive under different stress conditions …
