Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: The sulfur-formation ( suf ) genes play important roles in both photosynthesis and respiration of cyanobacteria, but the organism prioritizes Fe-S clusters for respiration at the expense of photosynthesis. Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are important to all living organisms, but their assembly mechanism is poorly understood in photosynthetic organisms. Unlike non-photosynthetic bacteria that rely on...
