The Cyanotoxin BMAA Induces Heterocyst Specific Gene Expression in <i>Anabaena</i> sp. PCC 7120 under Repressive Conditions

The Cyanotoxin BMAA Induces Heterocyst Specific Gene Expression in <i>Anabaena</i> sp. PCC 7120 under Repressive Conditions

Cyanobacteria synthesize neurotoxic &#946;-<i>N</i>-methylamino-<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-alanine (BMAA). The roles of this non-protein amino acid in cyanobacterial cells are insufficiently studied. During diazotrophic growth, filamentous...
