Anabaena, a multicellular model for cyanobacterial cell biology and biotechnology
ABSTRACT Heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria (order Nostocales) are a monophyletic group of organisms that grow as filaments usually made of dozens to hundreds of cells (termed vegetative cells) that can perform oxygenic photosynthesis. Under combined nitrogen deficiency, some cells in the filament differentiate into N2-f...
