Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacteria are the simplest organisms known to exhibit circadian rhythms, which is the fundamental process of homeostasis adapting to daily environmental changes. The cyanobacterial clock gene products, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC interact with each other, and regulate KaiC phosphorylation and kaiBC...
