Filamentous cyanobacteria like Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 are able to develop a specialized
cell type named heterocyst from vegetative cells in times of nitrogen starvation. Heterocyst …

Nitrogen is generally considered one of the major limiting nutrients in plant growth. The
biological process responsible for reduction of molecular nitrogen into ammonia is referred …

Background Biohydrogen from cyanobacteria has attracted public interest due to its potential
as a renewable energy carrier produced from solar energy and water. Anabaena siamensis …

The formation of a diazotrophic cyanobacterial filament represents a simple example of
biological development. In A nabaena, a non‐random pattern of one nitrogen‐fixing …

This handbook acquaints readers with the exciting developments in various areas of
cyanobacterial research in the backdrop of the publication of complete genome sequence of …

The filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 is able to form heterocysts for
nitrogen fixation. Heterocyst differentiation is initiated by combined‐nitrogen deprivation …

The formation of a pattern of differentiated cells from a group of seemingly equivalent,
undifferentiated cells is a central paradigm of developmental biology. Several species of …

Heterocyst differentiation in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 requires
NtcA, the global nitrogen regulator in cyanobacteria, and HetR, the master regulator of …

Differentiation of nitrogen‐fixing cells, called heterocysts, by the cyanobacterium Anabaena
sp. strain PCC 7120 requires HetR, which is considered the master regulator of heterocyst …

Modeling of pattern formation in hydra has revealed basic mechanisms that underlie the
reproducible generation of complex and self-regulating patterns. Organizing regions can be …
