Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria from the order Nostocales are able to establish symbiotic
relationships with diverse plant species. They are promiscuous symbionts, as the same …

Heterocyst differentiation that occurs in some filamentous cyanobacteria, such as Anabaena
sp. PCC 7120, provides a unique model for prokaryotic developmental biology. Heterocyst …

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 …

Nitrogen is generally considered one of the major limiting nutrients in plant growth. The
biological process responsible for reduction of molecular nitrogen into ammonia is referred …

Freshwater Ecology: Concepts and Environmental Applications is a general text covering
both basic and applied aspects of freshwater ecology and serves as an introduction to the …

Many multicellular cyanobacteria produce specialized nitrogen-fixing heterocysts. During
diazotrophic growth of the model organism Anabaena (Nostoc) sp. strain PCC 7120, a …

Features of cyanobacteria are introduced for non-specialists by highlighting topics in the
various chapters. Aspects where much more is known now than a decade ago are pointed …

This review summarizes recent aspects of (di) nitrogen fixation and (di) hydrogen
metabolism, with emphasis on cyanobacteria. These organisms possess several types of the …

In 1972, we proposed a theory of biological pattern formation in which concentration maxima
of pattern forming substances are generated through local self‐enhancement in conjunction …

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 …
