Functional Dissection of Genes Encoding DNA Polymerases Based on Conditional Mutants in the Heterocyst-Forming Cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7120

Functional Dissection of Genes Encoding DNA Polymerases Based on Conditional Mutants in the Heterocyst-Forming Cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7120

The filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 develops N2-fixing heterocyst cells under condition of combined-nitrogen deprivation and constitutes an excellent model for studying cell differentiation. The mechanism of heterocyst development has been extensively investigated and a network of r...
