The Role of MreB, MreC and MreD in the Morphology of the Diazotrophic Filament of <i>Anabaena</i> sp. PCC 7120

The Role of MreB, MreC and MreD in the Morphology of the Diazotrophic Filament of <i>Anabaena</i> sp. PCC 7120

The cyanobacterium <i>Anabaena</i> sp. PCC 7120 forms filaments of communicating cells. Under conditions of nitrogen scarcity, some cells differentiate into heterocysts, allowing the oxygen-sensitive N<sub>2</sub>-reduction system to be expressed and operated in oxic environm...
