Heterocyst formation.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 1996

Wolk C P

Abstract excerpt

Heterocysts are microaerobic, N2-fixing cells that form in a patterned array within O2-producing filamentous cyanobacteria. Structural features of heterocysts can be predicted from consideration of their physiology. This review focuses on the spacing mechanism that determines which cells will differentiate, and on the regulation of the progression of the differentiation process. Applicable genetic tools,...
