Heterocyst differentiation that occurs in some filamentous cyanobacteria, such as Anabaena
sp. PCC 7120, provides a unique model for prokaryotic developmental biology. Heterocyst …

Cyanobacteria carry out oxygenic photosynthesis, play a key role in the cycling of carbon
and nitrogen in the biosphere, and have had a large impact on the evolution of life and the …

Many organisms exhibit visually striking spotted or striped pigmentation patterns.
Developmental models predict that such spatial patterns can form when a local autocatalytic …

Self-organization is pervasive in development, from symmetry breaking in the early embryo
to tissue patterning and morphogenesis. For a few model systems, the underlying molecular …

Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous phototrophic prokaryotes that find a wide range of
applications in industry due to their broad product spectrum. In this context, the application of …

Planktothrix is a dominant cyanobacterial genus forming toxic blooms in temperate
freshwater ecosystems. We sequenced the genome of planktic and non planktic Planktothrix …

To quantify the major environmental drivers of stream bacterial population dynamics, we
modelled temporal differences in stream bacterial communities to quantify community shifts …

Cyanobacteria, one of the most ancient groups of oxygenic photoautotrophs are ubiquitously
found in almost all habitats on earth. Under nitrogen limitation, some of the cyanobacteria …

Following the installation of 16 weirs in South Korea's major rivers through the Four Rivers
Project (2010–2012), the water residence time increased significantly. Accordingly …

Under nitrogen deprivation, the one-dimensional cyanobacterial organism Anabaena sp.
PCC 7120 develops patterns of single, nitrogen-fixing cells separated by nearly regular …
