Heterocyst differentiation: from single mutants to global approaches.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Nov 2012

Muro-Pastor Alicia M, Hess Wolfgang R

Abstract excerpt

There are several instances of cellular differentiation in prokaryotes, including the formation of spores in Bacillus, the fruiting bodies of Myxococcus, and the stalked cells of Caulobacter. The vegetative cells of particular filamentous cyanobacteria can differentiate into three different cell types: N(2)-fixing heterocysts, spore-like akinetes, and motile hormogonia. Heterocysts are crucial for the ability of...
