1. Diferenciação celular em Nostoc spp: efeito da intensidade luminosa e do padrão de sobreposição dos filamentos / Cellular differentiation in Nostoc spp: effects of light intensity and pattern of filaments superposition.
Em isolados do gênero Nostoc, a multiplicação das células vegetativas e a diferenciação de algumas células em heterócitos em intervalos regulares é a etapa do ciclo de vida em que ocorre a produção de biomassa. Em outra etapa do ciclo de vida, vários fatores do ambiente podem induzir a diferenciação de hormogônios, filamentos nos quais não oc

2. Characteristics of Hormogonia Formation by Symbiotic Nostoc spp. in Response to the Presence of Anthoceros punctatus or Its Extracellular Products
Nostocacean cyanobacteria typically produce gliding filaments termed hormogonia at a low frequency as part of their life cycle. We report here that all Nostoc spp. competent in establishing a symbiotic association with the hornwort Anthoceros punctatus formed hormogonial filaments at a high frequency in the presence of A. punctatus. The hormogonia-inducing a

3. Characterization of the motile hormogonia of Mastigocladus laminosus.
The cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus produces motile hormogonia which move by gliding motility. These hormogonia were characterized in terms of their morphology, state of differentiation of the cells, optimal temperature for production and motility, minimal nutritional requirements to sustain motility, liberation of the hormogonium from its parental tr

4. Electron Transport Regulates Cellular Differentiation in the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Calothrix.
Differentiation of the filamentous cyanobacteria Calothrix sp strains PCC 7601 and PCC 7504 is regulated by light spectral quality. Vegetative filaments differentiate motile, gas-vacuolated hormogonia after transfer to fresh medium and incubation under red light. Hormogonia are transient and give rise to vegetative filaments, or to heterocystous filaments if

5. Hormogonium Differentiation in the Cyanobacterium Calothrix: A Photoregulated Developmental Process.
Hormogonium differentiation is part of the developmental cycle in many heterocystous cyanobacteria. Hormogonia are involved in the dispersal and survival of the species in its natural habitat. The formation of these differentiated filaments has been shown to depend on several environmental conditions, including spectral light quality. We report here morpholo

6. Nitrogen Deprivation Stimulates Symbiotic Gland Development in Gunnera manicata1
Gunnera is the only genus of angiosperms known to host cyanobacteria and the only group of land plants that hosts cyanobacteria intracellularly. Motile filaments of cyanobacteria, known as hormogonia, colonize Gunnera plants through cells in the plant's specialized stem glands. It is commonly held that Gunnera plants always possess functional glands for symb

7. Hydrophobicity as an Adhesion Mechanism of Benthic Cyanobacteria
The capacity of benthic cyanobacteria to adhere to solid substrates was examined in terms of their cell surface properties. By using a biphasic water-hydrocarbon test system, it was demonstrated that benthic cyanobacteria from divergent habitats were all hydrophobic, whereas all the planktonic cyanobacteria tested were hydrophilic. Divalent cations were foun

8. Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of a developmentally regulated gene from the cyanobacterium Calothrix PCC 7601: a gas vesicle protein gene.
Since the gas vesicle protein (GVP) is highly conserved among the different gas-vacuolate prokaryotes, a 29-mer oligonucleotide corresponding to a portion of the Anabaena flos-aquae GVP gene was synthesized and used to isolate the GVP structural gene from Calothrix PCC 7601 (= Fremyella diplosiphon). Gas vacuole production in this filamentous cyanobacterium

9. Regulation of Cellular Differentiation in Filamentous Cyanobacteria in Free-Living and Plant-Associated Symbiotic Growth States
Certain filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria generate signals that direct their own multicellular development. They also respond to signals from plants that initiate or modulate differentiation, leading to the establishment of a symbiotic association. An objective of this review is to describe the mechanisms by which free-living cyanobacteria regulate t
