Abstract excerpt
Nitrogenase is an oxygen-vulnerable metalloenzyme that catalyzes nitrogen fixation. It largely remains unknown how nitrogenase coexists with oxygenic photosynthesis in nonheterocystous cyanobacteria, since there have been no appropriate model cyanobacteria so far. Here, we demonstrate in vivo transposon tagging in the nonheterocystous cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya boryana as a forward genetics approach. By...
