Top: Micrographs of Anabaena filaments of WT, ΔcdgSpICT-all1219 strains (left), and Δ8DGC-1 strain (right) cultured in BG11 medium with (+) or without (−) Cu2+ and theophylline at the indicated time points. Scale bars represent 15 µm. Bottom: Schematic of the proposed dual-threshold c-di-GMP regulatory system that governs cell growth and survival in Anabaena.

Regulatory networks of FUR and NtcA are intertwined by transcriptional regulators, two-component systems, serine/threonine kinases, and sigma factors in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 | mSystems FUR proteins in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 are a family of global transcriptional regulators that control several cellular processes ranging from metal homeostasis to nitrogen metabolism. Apart from direct...
