The Heterocyst-Specific Small RNA NsiR1 Regulates the Commitment to Differentiation in Nostoc

ABSTRACT Heterocysts are specialized cells that filamentous cyanobacteria differentiate for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen when other nitrogen sources are not available. Heterocyst differentiation at semiregular intervals along the filaments requires complex structural and metabolic changes th...
