Abstract excerpt
The crhR gene for RNA helicase, CrhR, was one of the most highly induced genes when the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was exposed to a downward shift in ambient temperature. Although CrhR may be involved in the acclimatization of cyanobacterial cells to low-temperature environments, its functional role during the acclimatization is not known. In the present study, we mutated the crhR gene by...
