Abstract excerpt
Diazotrophic cyanobacteria fix both atmospheric carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) into biomass, but the two assimilation pathways are not compatible. Species like Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 physically separate C and N assimilation in different cell types. Even if separated, they are strongly intertwined, as N assimilation relies on the C skeletons and reducing power from photosynthesis, that in turn depends on N-rich...
