Abstract excerpt
The cyanobacterial ntcA gene encodes a DNA-binding protein that belongs to the Crp family of bacterial transcriptional regulators. In this work, we describe the isolation of an ntcA insertional mutant of the dinitrogen-fixing, heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120. The Anabaena...
