Structures of complexes comprised of Fischerella transcription factor HetR with Anabaena DNA targets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
HetR is an essential regulator of heterocyst development in cyanobacteria. Many mutations in HetR render Anabaena incapable of nitrogen fixation. The protein binds to a DNA palindrome upstream of hetP and other genes.

Evolution of molecular communication in the permanent Azolla symbiosis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1666-1674, February 2026.
Summary Heritable symbioses exist across eukaryotes with different degrees of intimacy. In most cases, the symbionts are obligate and require inheritance for their survival. On the host side, symbiont retention can facilitate fitness benefits. Only rarely are these symbioses interwoven to the point that host survival relies on the symbiont.

Expression of Cyanobacterial Genes Involved in Heterocyst Differentiation and Dinitrogen Fixation Along a Plant Symbiosis Development Profile

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2004
Members of the cyanobiont genus Nostoc, forming an endosymbiosis with members of the angiosperm genus Gunnera, undergo a number of characteristic phenotypic changes during the development of the symbiosis, the genetic background of which is largely ...

Dating the cyanobacterial ancestor of the chloroplast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cyanobacteria have played a pivotal role in the history of life on Earth being the first organism to carry out oxygenic photosynthesis, which changed atmospheric chemistry and allowed the evolution of Eukarya.

Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins in Mediterranean Reservoirs: Ecological Variability, Risks and Implications for Water Quality Assessment

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing demand for freshwater, in combination with climate change and pollution, compromises the quality and quantity of water resources. These pressures have intensified cyanobacterial blooms, including toxic events that threaten human health and aquatic ecosystems. This study complements the objectives of the Water Framework Directive

Molecular Diffusion through Cyanobacterial Septal Junctions

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria grow as filaments in which intercellular molecular exchange takes place. During the differentiation of N2-fixing heterocysts, regulators are transferred between cells.

All4312, an NtcA-regulated two-component response regulator in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
All4312, encoded by open reading frame all4312 in the genome of the heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, exhibits a CheY-like receiver domain and an output domain similar to that of OmpR, characteristic of two-component ...

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

open access: yesMicrobial 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.

Rapid Transcriptional Reprogramming Triggered by Alteration of the Carbon/Nitrogen Balance Has an Impact on Energy Metabolism in Nostoc sp. PCC 7120

open access: yesLife, 2020
Nostoc (Anabaena) sp. PCC 7120 is a filamentous cyanobacterial species that fixes N2 to nitrogenous compounds using specialised heterocyst cells.

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

open access: yesChemistry &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.
