Plasticity first: molecular signatures of a complex morphological trait in filamentous cyanobacteria

Abstract Background Filamentous cyanobacteria that differentiate multiple cell types are considered the peak of prokaryotic complexity and their evolution has been studied in the context of multicellularity origins. Species that form true-branching filaments exemplify the most complex cyanobacteria....
