Abstract excerpt
In the filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, the glnB gene is expressed at considerable levels both in the presence and in the absence of combined nitrogen, although induction, influenced by NtcA, takes place upon combined-nitrogen deprivation likely localized to vegetative cells. In spite of extensive efforts, a derivative of PCC 7120 lacking a functional glnB gene could be...
