Abstract excerpt

Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 is a filamentous heterocystous cyanobacterium that fixes nitrogen under a variety of environmental conditions. Under aerobic growth conditions, nitrogen fixation depends upon differentiation of heterocysts and expression of either a Mo-dependent nitrogenase or a V-d...
