Abstract: We clarified the elusive biological function of cyanophycin in the nondiazotrophic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Cyanophycin is a dynamic carbon/nitrogen storage polymer (multi-arginyl-l-polyaspartate) that is conditionally present in most cyanobacteria and a few heterotrophic… read more here.
