Abstract excerpt
A significant part of global primary productivity is provided by cyanobacteria, which are abundant in most marine and freshwater habitats. In many oceanographic regions, however, the concentration of iron can be so low that it limits growth. Cyanobacteria respond to this condition by expressing a number of iron stress inducible genes, of which the isiA gene encodes a chlorophyll-binding protein known as IsiA or...
