Cell Wall Amidase AmiC1 Is Required for Cellular Communication and Heterocyst Development in the Cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7120 but Not for Filament Integrity

Filamentous cyanobacteria of the order Nostocales display typical properties of multicellular organisms. In response to nitrogen starvation, some vegetative cells differentiate into heterocysts, where fixation of N(2) takes place. Heterocysts provide a micro-oxic compartment to protect nitrogenase f...
