The Making of a Heterocyst in Cyanobacteria

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2022
Heterocyst differentiation that occurs in some filamentous cyanobacteria, such as Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, provides a unique model for prokaryotic developmental biology. Heterocyst cells are formed in response to combined-nitrogen deprivation and possess a microoxic environment suitable for nitrogen fixation following extensive morphological and ...

Heterocyst formation in cyanobacteria

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2000
When deprived of combined nitrogen, many filamentous cyanobacteria develop a one-dimensional pattern of specialised nitrogen-fixing cells, known as heterocysts. Recent years have seen the identification and characterisation of some of the key genes and proteins involved in heterocyst development and spacing, including the positive regulator HetR and ...

Endosymbiotic heterocystous cyanobacteria synthesize different heterocyst glycolipids than free-living heterocystous cyanobacteria

Phytochemistry, 2013
The heterocysts of limnetic nitrogen-fixing filamentous cyanobacteria contain unique glycolipids in their cell wall that create the distinctive gas impermeability of the heterocyst cell wall as well as serve as biomarker lipids for these microbes.

Molecular circuit of heterocyst differentiation in cyanobacteria

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2020
AbstractDifferentiation commitment is one of the most complex mechanisms to study in biological science. One of the model systems used for understanding differentiation complexity is heterocyst development in cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria have the capability of biological nitrogen fixation due to highly differentiated heterocyst cells. Once the nitrogen

Heterocyst glycolipids of the cyanobacterium Cyanospira rippkae

Phytochemistry, 1993
Abstract The heterocyst glycolipids of the cyanobacterium Cyanospira rippkae have been isolated and their structures established to be 1-(O-α- d -glucopyranosyl)-3R,27R-octacosanediol and 1-(O-α- d -glucopyranosyl)-27-keto-3R-octacosanol by spectroscopic and chemical means.
