Investigation of the Cyanothece nitrogenase cluster in Synechocystis: a blueprint for engineering nitrogen-fixing photoautotrophs

Investigation of the Cyanothece nitrogenase cluster in Synechocystis: a blueprint for engineering nitrogen-fixing photoautotrophs

ABSTRACT The nitrogenase gene cluster of unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacteria, such as Cyanothece, is frequently selected by nature for nitrogen-fixing partnerships with eukaryotic phototrophs. The essential cluster components that confer an advantage in such partnerships remain underexplored. To...
