Nitrogen cost minimization is promoted by structural changes in the transcriptome of N-deprived Prochlorococcus cells

Prochlorococcus is a globally abundant marine cyanobacterium with many adaptations that reduce cellular nutrient requirements, facilitating growth in its nutrient-poor environment. One such genomic adaptation is the preferential utilization of amino acids containing fewer N-atoms, which minimizes ce...
