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

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 …

Filamentous cyanobacteria like Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 are able to develop a specialized
cell type named heterocyst from vegetative cells in times of nitrogen starvation. Heterocyst …

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 …

Summary FurC (PerR) from Anabaena sp. PCC7120 was previously described as a key
transcriptional regulator involved in setting off the oxidative stress response. In the last …

Background When the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis grows aerobically
without combined nitrogen, some vegetative cells differentiate into N 2-fixing heterocysts …

Differentiation commitment is one of the most complex mechanisms to study in biological
science. One of the model systems used for understanding differentiation complexity is …

Based on primary sequence comparisons and genomic context, Npun_F4153
(SigG)/Npun_F4154 (SapG) of the cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme were hypothesized …

During maturation, heterocysts form an envelope layer of polysaccharide, called heterocyst
envelope polysaccharide (HEP), whose synthesis depends on a cluster of genes, the HEP …
