Abstract: Polyamines are primordial, small organic polycations present in almost all cells, but their roles in bacteria are poorly understood. sym‐Homospermidine is the dominant polyamine in the filamentous, N2‐fixing, heterocyst‐forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120. Synthesis… read more here.
