The patB gene product is required for growth and survival of the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 in the absence of combined nitrogen. A patB :: gfp fusion demonstrated that this gene is expressed exclusively in heterocysts. pa

Cyanobacteria produce toxins that kill animals. The two main classes of cyanobacterial toxins are cyclic peptides that cause liver damage and alkaloids that block nerve transmission. Many toxin-producing strains from Finnish lakes were brought into a

Previous studies have indicated that ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADPGlc PPase) from the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 is more similar to higher-plant than to enteric bacterial enzymes in antigenicity and allosteric properties. In thi

Anabaena 7120 mutant 216 fails to differentiate heterocyst. We previously identified a 2.4-kb wild-type DNA fragment able to complement this mutant. We show here that the sequence of this fragment contains a single open reading frame (hetR), encoding

Cyanobacteria face the difficult problem of fixing nitrogen while generating oxygen. Some solve this problem by storing carbohydrate during the day and using the stored material to fuel nitrogen fixation during the night. Others, notably Trichodesmiu
