c-di-GMP is a ubiquitous bacterial signal regulating various physiological process. PCC 7120 ( ) is a filamentous cyanobacterium able to form regularly-spaced heterocysts for nitrogen fixation, in response to combined-nitrogen deprivation in 24h. possesses 16 genes encoding proteins for c-di-GMP met...
