Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacteria, which are considered to be the chloroplast precursors, are significant contributors to global photosynthetic productivity. The ample variety of membrane and soluble proteins containing different metals (mainly, iron and copper) has made these organisms develop a complex homeostasis with different mechanisms and tight regulation processes to fulfil their metal requirements in a changing environment....
