c-di-GMP Homeostasis Is Critical for Heterocyst Development in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 c-di-GMP is a ubiquitous bacterial signal regulating various physiological process. Anabaena PCC 7120 (Anabaena) is a filamentous cyanobacterium able to form regularly-spaced heterocysts for nitrogen fixation, in response to combined-nitrogen deprivation
