Electron Transport Regulates Cellular Differentiation in the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Calothrix.
Differentiation of the filamentous cyanobacteria Calothrix sp strains PCC 7601 and PCC 7504 is regulated by light spectral quality. Vegetative filaments differentiate motile, gas-vacuolated hormogonia after transfer to fresh medium and incubation under red light. Hormogonia are transient and give rise to vegetative filaments, or to heterocystous filaments if fixed nitrogen is lacking. If incuba...
متن کاملSesquiterpenes of the geosmin-producing cyanobacterium Calothrix PCC 7507 and their toxicity to invertebrates.
The occurrence of sesquiterpenes was investigated with the geosmin-producing cyanobacterium Calothrix PCC 7507. The essential oil obtained by vacuum destillation was studied in more detail by GC-MS methods and superposition with authentic compounds. Geosmin was the dominating compound while the other sesquiterpenes were minor components. Sesquiterpenes that have not been described before in cya...
متن کاملMaintenance of heterocyst patterning in a filamentous cyanobacterium.
In the absence of sufficient combined nitrogen, some filamentous cyanobacteria differentiate nitrogen-fixing heterocysts at approximately every 10th cell position. As cells between heterocysts grow and divide, this initial pattern is maintained by the differentiation of a single cell approximately midway between existing heterocysts. This paper introduces a mathematical model for the maintenanc...
متن کاملEffect of High Salt Stress on Photosynthetic Electron Transport Activities in the Cyanobacterium, Spirulina Platensis
Environmental stresses like temperature, high light, UV radiation and salt stress are known to affect the efficiency of photosynthesis (Stainer and Cohen –Bazire, 1977; Tandeau de Marsac and Houmard, 1993). Salt stress inhibits fundamental processes such as plant growth and productivity which are often associated with the decreased photosynthesis (Greenway and Munns,1980). A number of studies h...
متن کاملRegulation of cellular differentiation in filamentous cyanobacteria in free-living and plant-associated symbiotic growth states.
Certain filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria generate signals that direct their own multicellular development. They also respond to signals from plants that initiate or modulate differentiation, leading to the establishment of a symbiotic association. An objective of this review is to describe the mechanisms by which free-living cyanobacteria regulate their development and then to consider...
