Abstract excerpt
To study thermal adaptations in the cyanobacterium, Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, we screened about 3,000 mutants for their tolerance to high temperature, and found one, SHT1, that is sensitive to high-temperature stress. The mutant had a modified gene construct in the endogenous plasmid, pAQ1. One of the four ORFs, ORF93, was duplicated, and its mRNA level was higher than in the wild type. At 38 degrees C, the...
