Expression from DIF1-motif promoters of hetR and patS is dependent on HetZ and modulated by PatU3 during heterocyst differentiation.

PLoS ONE, 2020
HetR and PatS/PatX-derived peptides are the activator and diffusible inhibitor for cell differentiation and patterning in heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria. HetR regulates target genes via HetR-recognition sites.

Phylogeny‐Aware Metabologenomics Accurately Assigns Natural Products to Biosynthetic Gene Clusters

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
We report a statistical approach for associating biosynthetic gene clusters with their cognate metabolites and demonstrate its unprecedented power for scalable natural product discovery. Notably, it drastically reduces spurious associations by explicitly integrating the phylogeny of microbial producer strains.

Synergistic Effect of Deoxyanthocyanins from Symbiotic Fern Azolla spp. on hrmA Gene Induction in the Cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002
The hrmA gene of the N2-fixing cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme functions in repressing the formation of transitory motile filaments, termed hormogonia, by plant-associated vegetative filaments.

Amazonian Cyanobacteria as a Source of Bioactive Compounds With Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Properties

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microorganisms known for producing diverse bioactive compounds. This study explores the bioactivity of extracts and fractions from Amazonian cyanobacteria and their pigment and phenolic compound production. A fraction from Synechococcus sp. CACIAM 05 showed cytotoxicity against hCMEC/D3 and MG‐63 cells.

Inactivation of Three RG(S/T)GR Pentapeptide-Containing Negative Regulators of HetR Results in Lethal Differentiation of Anabaena PCC 7120

Life, 2020
The filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 produces, during the differentiation of heterocysts, a short peptide PatS and a protein HetN, both containing an RGSGR pentapeptide essential for activity.

Integrating phytoplankton phenology, traits, and model‐data fusion to advance bloom prediction

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 6, Page 815-834, December 2025.
Abstract While there is a diversity of approaches for modeling phytoplankton blooms, their accuracy in predicting the onset and manifestation of a bloom is still lagging behind what is needed to support effective management. We outline a framework that integrates trait theory and ecosystem modeling to improve bloom prediction.
