Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The heterocysts present in filamentous cyanobacteria such as Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 are known to be regulated by HetN and PatS, the repressors of heterocyst differentiation; therefore, the inactivation of these proteins will result in the formation of ...

Nitrogen Fixation Mutants of the Actinobacterium Frankia Casuarinae CcI3 [PDF]
, 2017 Frankia is a representative genus of nitrogen-fixing (N2-fixing) actinobacteria; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying various phenomena such as the differentiation of a N2 fixation-specific structure (vesicle) and the regulation of N2 fixation ...

Heterocyst Differentiation in Cylindrospermum licheniforme: Studies on the Role of Transcription [PDF]
Microbiology, 1984 Heterocysts of the cyanobacterium Cylindrospermum licheniforme occur at the ends of the filaments. These cells, specialized for aerobic N2 fixation, synchronously differentiate after the fragmentation of filaments grown in a medium free of combined nitrogen.

ZipN is an essential FtsZ membrane tether and contributes to the septal localization of SepJ in the flamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena [PDF]
, 2019 The organismic unit of heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria is a filament of communicating cells connected by septal junctions, proteinaceous structures bridging the cytoplasms of contiguous cells.

Differential near-infrared imaging of heterocysts using single-walled carbon nanotubes
Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2022 AbstractThe internalization of near-infrared (NIR) optical nanoprobes in photosynthetic microbes can be exploited for applications ranging from energy conversion to biomolecule delivery. However, the intrinsic, species-dependent properties of microbial cell walls, including their surface charge density, composition, thickness, and elasticity, can ...
