Many multicellular cyanobacteria produce specialized nitrogen-fixing heterocysts. During
diazotrophic growth of the model organism Anabaena (Nostoc) sp. strain PCC 7120, a …

Within the wide biodiversity that is found in the bacterial world, Cyanobacteria represents a
unique phylogenetic group that is responsible for a key metabolic process in the biosphere …

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the established and emerging roles that
organelles play in calcium signalling. The function of calcium as a secondary messenger in …

With the continued increase of genomic information and computational analyses during the
recent years, the number of newly discovered calcium binding proteins (CaBPs) in …

INTRODUCTION Terrestrial cyanobacteria often occur in environments that receive strongly
filtered light because of shading by plants or because of their associations with soil crusts …

Cyanobacterial morphology is diverse, ranging from unicellular spheres or rods to
multicellular structures such as colonies and filaments. Multicellular species represent an …

Heterocyst differentiation in filamentous cyanobacteria provides an excellent prokaryotic
model for studying multicellular behaviour and pattern formation. In Anabaena sp. strain …

Some cyanobacteria remodel their photosynthetic apparatus by a process known as Far-
Red Light Photoacclimation (FaRLiP). Specific subunits of the phycobilisome (PBS) …

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 …

Recent studies have demonstrated that chloroplasts and mitochondria evoke specific Ca 2+
signals in response to biotic and abiotic stresses in a stress-dependent manner. The …
