Dr. Iris Maldener and Dr. Khaled Selim are organizing and editing a Special Issue of the Journal Life titled „Cellular and Molecular Strategies in Cyanobacterial Survival“.
In recent years, our knowledge on cyanobacterial survival strategies has increased tremendously by applying global studies like transcriptomics and proteomics, as well as advanced microscopic technics. Protein structure and function analysis have revealed the great potential of cellular and metabolic adaptation mechanisms of single cells and multicellular filaments towards environmental stress, including cell differentiation, signal transduction, formation of reserve materials, and resuscitation from dormant states, just to name a few examples.
In this Special Issue of Life, we invite researchers from all over the world to share with us the advances in our understanding of ecological, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of cyanobacterial survival. This includes original work and review articles dealing with signaling pathways, strategies of gene and protein regulation, global studies, and new discoveries related to differentiation of spore like akinetes, motile hormogonia, and nitrogen-fixing heterocysts.
Manuscript submissions are possible until 31st of July 2020.
