Abstract excerpt
Degradation of the cyanobacterial light-harvesting antenna, the phycobilisome, is a general acclimation response that is observed under various stress conditions. In this study we identified a novel mutant of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 that exhibits impaired phycobilisome degradation specifically during nitrogen starvation, unlike previously described mutants, which exhibit aberrant degradation under...
