Principal Investigator

Himadri Pakrasi

The recently identified and characterized unicellular cyanobacteria, Synechococcus elongates UTEX 2973, a fast growing and genetically malleable organism, has the potential to become the definitive…

Cryo-EM analysis of the ultrastructure of Anabaena 33047, a filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium

Lead Institution

Washington University in St. Louis

Principal Investigator

Michelle Liberton

Anabaena sp. ATCC 33047 is a fast-growing diazotrophic cyanobacterium and potential bioproduction platform. To protect the O2-sensitive nitrogenase enzyme, Anabaena 33047 filaments differentiate…
