Abstract excerpt

Multicellular cyanobacteria, like Nostoc punctiforme, rely on septal junctions for cell-cell communication, which is crucial for coordinating various physiological processes including differentiation of N2-fixing heterocysts, spore-like akinetes, and hormogonia-short, motile filaments important for dispersal. In this study, we functionally characterize a protein, encoded by gene Npun_F4142, which in a random...
