Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Protein identification succeeded for 79% of analysed cyanobiont proteins.
- Observation Energy production, nitrogen and carbon metabolism, and stress-related functions were up-regulated in the cyanobiont relative to a free-living strain.
- Observation The cyanobiont results indicate slow heterotrophic growth and high heterocyst frequencies and nitrogen-fixing capacities.
- Observation Cyanobacterial NifH had a 300-400 Da modification localized to a specific 13 amino acid sequence near the nitrogenase active site.
- Method / resource Database-hit distributions suggest proteomic data could be used in taxonomy.
