Changes in gene expression during nitrogen starvation in Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413.
When the filamentous, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 was subjected to nitrogen starvation under aerobic conditions, a complex series of events was initiated which resulted in heterocyst formation and derepression of the ability to fix dinitrogen. Using DNA-RNA hybridization techniques, we monitored the expression of several genes during nitrogen starvation and cor...
متن کاملImpact of titanium dioxide nanomaterials on nitrogen fixation rate and intracellular nitrogen storage in Anabaena variabilis.
This study comprehensively investigated the impact of titanium dioxide nanomaterials (nTiO(2)) exposure on cell growth, nitrogen fixation activity, and nitrogen storage dynamics in the primary producer cyanobacteria Anabaena variabilis at various dose concentrations and exposure time lengths. The results indicated that both growth rate (EC(50)-96 h of 0.62 mgTiO(2)/L) and nitrogen fixation acti...
متن کاملBacterial Cyclic AMP-Phosphodiesterase Activity Coordinates Biofilm Formation
Biofilm-related infections are a major contributor to human disease, and the capacity for surface attachment and biofilm formation are key attributes for the pathogenesis of microbes. Serratia marcescens type I fimbriae-dependent biofilms are coordinated by the adenylate cyclase, CyaA, and the cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-cAMP receptor protein (CRP) complex. This study uses S. ma...
متن کاملFructose uptake and influence on growth of and nitrogen fixation by Anabaena variabilis.
Fructose is specifically taken up by nitrogen-fixing cultures of Anabaena variabilis in the light and lowers the doubling time from 24 to 8 h. The kinetics for both fructose-dependent growth and fructose uptake are exponential. The apparent Km for fructose uptake in N2-fixing cultures is 160 microM for cells not previously exposed to fructose and 50 microM in cells adapted to fructose. Picomola...
متن کاملChanges in cyclic GMP level and phosphodiesterase activity during follicular development in the rat ovary.
Guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP), as a second messenger, plays potential roles in ovarian functions. To elucidate the role of phosphodiesterase (PDE) in cGMP signaling during ovarian follicular development, the present study was conducted to investigate ovarian cGMP level and cGMP-PDE activity by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in postnatal rats, immature rats during gonadotropin-primed folli...
