Abstract excerpt
Exposure of cells of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) grown under high-CO(2) conditions to inorganic C-limitation induces transcription of particular genes and expression of high-affinity CO(2) and HCO(3)(-) transport systems. Among the low-CO(2)-inducible transcription units of Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 is the cmpABCD operon, encoding an ATP-binding cassette transporter similar to the nitrate/nitrite...
