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

Background Analysis of complete microbial genomes showed that intracellular parasites
and other microorganisms that inhabit stable ecological niches encode relatively primitive …

CheY-like phosphoacceptor (or receiver [REC]) domain is a common module in a variety of
response regulators of the bacterial signal transduction systems. In this work, 4,610 …

Prochlorococcus marinus, the dominant photosynthetic organism in the ocean, is found in
two main ecological forms: high-light-adapted genotypes in the upper part of the water …

Bacterial signalling network includes an array of numerous interacting components that
monitor environmental and intracellular parameters and effect cellular response to changes …

A new group of photoreceptors has been experimentally revealed in cyanobacteria. They
are phototaxis regulator SyPixJ1, TePixJ and AnPixJ, chromatic acclimation regulator …

This review adds the bilin-binding phytochromes to the Chemical Reviews thematic issue
“Optogenetics and Photopharmacology”. The work is structured into two parts. We first …

Many filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria protect nitrogenase from oxygen in
differentiated cells called heterocysts. Heterocyst development is controlled by the …

Diatomic ligand discrimination by soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) is paramount to
cardiovascular homeostasis and neuronal signaling. Nitric oxide (NO) stimulates sGC …

A filamentous non-N2-fixing cyanobacterium, Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis, is an
important organism for industrial applications and as a food supply. Almost the complete …
