Some filamentous cyanobacteria can undergo a variety of cellular differentiation processes
that permit their better adaptation to certain environmental conditions. These processes …

Cyanobacteria are a group of photosynthetic prokaryotes that have a diverse morphology,
minimal nutritional requirements and metabolic plasticity that has made them attractive …

Filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria are among the simplest multicellular systems
in Nature. In the absence of combined nitrogen, the filaments consist of vegetative cells that …

There are several instances of cellular differentiation in prokaryotes, including the formation
of spores in Bacillus, the fruiting bodies of Myxococcus, and the stalked cells of Caulobacter …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, like all members of the genus
Pseudomonas, has the capacity to thrive in very different environments, ranging from water …

Intelligence operations worldwide monitor individuals directly or indirectly linked to terrorist
networks for their communication activities, collectively described as “chatter.” Considerable …

The heterocyst is a specialized cell for nitrogen fixation in the filamentous cyanobacteria,
and its development is triggered by limitation of combined nitrogen in the medium. During …

In response to combined nitrogen starvation in the growth medium, the filamentous
cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 is able to develop a particular cell type, called a …

MreB is a bacterial actin that plays important roles in determination of cell shape and
chromosome partitioning in Escherichia coli and Caulobacter crescentus. In this study, the …

Many filamentous cyanobacteria produce specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called
heterocysts, which are located at semiregular intervals along the filament with about 10 to 20 …
