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

This review summarizes recent aspects of (di) nitrogen fixation and (di) hydrogen
metabolism, with emphasis on cyanobacteria. These organisms possess several types of the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Tramway Ridge, located near the summit of Mount Erebus in Antarctica, is probably the most
remote geothermal soil habitat on Earth. Steam fumaroles maintain moist, hot soil …

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 …

Photosynthetic organisms regulate their responses to many diverse stimuli in an effort to
balance light harvesting with utilizable light energy for carbon fixation and growth (source …
