Heterocyst Morphogenesis and Gene Expression in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

Heterocyst Morphogenesis and Gene Expression in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

Many multicellular cyanobacteria produce specialized nitrogen-fixing heterocysts. During diazotrophic growth of the model organism Anabaena (Nostoc) sp. strain PCC 7120, a regulated developmental pattern of single heterocysts separated by about 10 to 20 photosynthetic vegetative cells is maintained...
