Unravelling HetC as a peptidase-based ABC exporter driving functional cell differentiation in the cyanobacterium Nostoc PCC 7120 [PDF]
The export of peptides or proteins is essential for a variety of important functions in bacteria. Among the diverse protein-translocation systems, peptidase-containing ABC transporters (PCAT) are involved in the maturation and export of quorum-sensing or

c-di-GMP Homeostasis Is Critical for Heterocyst Development in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120
c-di-GMP is a ubiquitous bacterial signal regulating various physiological process. Anabaena PCC 7120 (Anabaena) is a filamentous cyanobacterium able to form regularly-spaced heterocysts for nitrogen fixation, in response to combined-nitrogen deprivation

Heterocyst differentiation in the cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
The morphological and ultrastructural aspects of heterocyst differentiation in the branching, filamentous cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus were examined with light and electron microscopy. The earliest differentiation stages involved cytoplasmic changes, including (i) rapid degradation of carboxysomes, (ii) degradation of polysaccharide granules,
