Disease relevance of Plectonema

 

High impact information on Plectonema

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Plectonema

  • A novel nitrite reductase gene from the cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum [7].
  • Ethionine-resistant mutants of the filamentous blue-green alga Plectonema boryanum [8].
  • The gene is transcribed only under anaerobic nitrogenase-inducing conditions, whereas the Plectonema petF gene, encoding a different (type 1) [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin, is only transcribed in cultures growing with combined nitrogen [9].
  • Molybdenum independence of nitrogenase component synthesis in the non-heterocystous cyanobacterium Plectonema [10].
  • The cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum (IU 594-UTEX 594) fixes N2 only in the absence of combined N and of O2 [10].
 

Biological context of Plectonema

 

Gene context of Plectonema

  • A eubacterial homolog of a kinesin light chain gene has been isolated and characterized from the cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum [13].
  • A DNA fragment downstream of frxC in the filamentous cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum was cloned and analyzed [14].
  • Assembly site of cyanophage LPP-2-SPL in Plectonema boryanum [15].
  • Identification of the chlB gene and the gene product essential for the light-independent chlorophyll biosynthesis in the cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum [16].
  • It was compared with the CD spectrum of ferredoxin (2Fe-2S or 4Fe-4S cluster) and the nitrate reductase of Plectonema boryanum [17].
