BMC Microbiology, 2020 Background Filamentous cyanobacteria represent model organisms for investigating multicellularity. For many species, nitrogen-fixing heterocysts are formed from photosynthetic vegetative cells under nitrogen limitation.

Identification of Conserved and Potentially Regulatory Small RNAs in Heterocystous Cyanobacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Small RNAs (sRNAs) are a growing class of non-protein-coding transcripts that participate in the regulation of virtually every aspect of bacterial physiology.

, 2011 Cyanobacteria are phototrophic bacteria carrying out oxygen-producing photosynthesis. Indeed, cyanobacteria were the inventors of oxygenic photosynthesis carried out by eukaryotic algae and plants. Besides showing the capability of building their cellular carbon from carbon dioxide, available in the atmosphere, several strains of cyanobacteria have ...

Developmental Biology in Cyanobacteria
Life, 2019 Filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria are phototrophic multicellular organisms in which N2-fixing heterocysts and CO2-fixing vegetative cells exchange regulators and nutrients [...]

Characterization of the
BMC Microbiology, 2009 Background In cyanobacteria three enzymes are directly involved in the hydrogen metabolism; a nitrogenase that produces molecular hydrogen, H2, as a by-product of nitrogen fixation, an uptake hydrogenase that recaptures H2 and oxidize it, and a ...

N2 Fixation by non-heterocystous cyanobacteria
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1997 Many, though not all, non-heterocystous cyanobacteria can fix N-2. However, very few strains can fix N-2 aerobically. Nevertheless, these organisms may make a substantial contribution to the global nitrogen cycle. In this general review, N-2 fixation by laboratory cultures and natural populations of non-heterocystous cyanobacteria is considered.
