Single-Cell Measurements of Fixation and Intercellular Exchange of C and N in the Filaments of the Heterocyst-Forming Cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: sp. strain PCC 7120. Our results show a close relationship between C and N fixation and distribution in the filaments and indicate that wild-type filaments in a culture can exhibit a substantial variability of metabolic states. This illustrates how some novel properties can be appreciated by studying microbial cultures at the single-cell level.
