Disease relevance of ntcA
- Here we investigated the genotypic diversity of ntcA among the full spectrum of cultured Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus lineages and assessed cyanobacterial genotypic composition in environmental samples from the Gulf of Aqaba [1].
- Diversity of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus populations determined from DNA sequences of the N-regulatory gene ntcA [1].
- Expression of the nitrogen regulatory gene ntcA is a useful indicator for determining the N-status of cyanobacteria, and preliminary work with this gene suggests that it may also serve as a useful biodiversity marker [1].
High impact information on ntcA
- The high level of ntcA diversification established this gene as an excellent biodiversity marker capable of distinguishing between numerous clades within each genus with high resolution [1].
