Effect of glutamine on growth and heterocyst differentiation in the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis [PDF]
Mutants of the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis that were capable of increased uptake of glutamine, as compared with that in the parental strains, were isolated. Growth of these mutants and their parental strains was measured in media containing N2, ammonia, or glutamine as a source of nitrogen.

A Biosynthetic and Taxonomic Atlas of the Global Lichen Holobiont
This analysis of 794 publicly available lichen shotgun metagenomic datasets, covering 467 unique lichen species from 34 countries, revealed that lichens are complex holobionts. They harbour a variety of fungal, algal, and bacterial players with remarkable biosynthetic capabilities.

Epiphytes face several constraints regarding nutrient acquisition: They are disconnected from soil minerals and they have to mainly rely on nutrients leached by precipitation and microbes.

Expanding the Direct HetR Regulon in Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120 [PDF]
In response to a lack of environmental combined nitrogen, the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 differentiates nitrogen-fixing heterocyst cells in a periodic pattern. HetR is a transcription factor that coordinates the regulation of

The potentially toxigenic cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii has spread to temperate regions and produces massive blooms. This study reports the first taxonomic and functional metagenomic assessment of a strain from the Mediterranean, thus filling a significant gap in global distribution.

The trpE Gene Negatively Regulates Differentiation of Heterocysts at the Level of Induction in Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120 [PDF]
Levels of 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG) reflect nitrogen status in many bacteria. In heterocystous cyanobacteria, a spike in the 2-OG level occurs shortly after the removal of combined nitrogen from cultures and is an integral part of the induction of heterocyst

The Barrier Properties of Biological Membranes Dictate How Cells Experience Oxidative Stress
Molecular oxygen diffuses across membranes with such speed that, despite respiration, the intracellular oxygen concentration does not differ significantly from that outside the cell. In contrast, membranes are important barriers for hydrogen peroxide and especially superoxide, so that intracellular scavenging enzymes can substantially shield cells from

Intercellular Diffusion of a Fluorescent Sucrose Analog via the Septal Junctions in a Filamentous Cyanobacterium [PDF]
D.J.N. was supported by a Queen Mary University of London College studentship. M.N.M. was the recipient of an FPU (Formación del Personal Universitario) fellowship from the Spanish Government.

Abstract In the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, heterocyst formation is triggered by changes in the C/N‐ratio and relies on transcriptional reprogramming. The transcription factor PacR is considered a global regulator of carbon assimilation under photoautotrophic conditions, influencing the carbon concentrating mechanism and ...
