Abstract excerpt
Phototaxis, positive (movement toward the light source) or negative (from the light source) mediates the adaptation of cyanobacteria to varying wave lengths and illumination intensity. The transcription regulator PrqR of the family TetR is known as a repressor of the prqRA operon controlling resistance to the oxidative stress inducer methyl viologen in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. However, it was...
