In the mutants of the cbbR homologs, upregulation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase operon expression by CO2 limitation was either unaffected (strain PCC 6803) or enhanced (strains PCC 7942), suggesting existence of other low CO2-responsive transcriptional regulator(s) in cyanobacteria.

It is demonstrated that the cmpABCD genes encode a high-affinity HCO(3)(-) transporter, which appears to be the first unambiguous identification and description of a primary active H CO(3-) transporter present in the cyanobacterium.

A speculative model is forward that proposes that two unique proteins, ChpX and ChpY, possess CO2 hydration activity in the light, and when coupled to photosynthetic electron transport through the two specialised NDH-1 complexes, result in net hydration of CO2 to HCO3- as a crucial component of the CO2 uptake process.

Common features and group- or species-specific characteristics of the response of cyanobacteria to nitrogen is summarized and discussed in terms of ecophysiological significance.

The results suggest that 2‐phosphoglycolate, which is produced by oxygenation by ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), acts as the co‐inducer in the activation of the cmp operon by CmpR, a LysR family transcription factor of CbbR subfamily.

An overall scheme for nitrate assimilation in C. merolae is proposed, based on the complete genome sequence, after it was found that a CMG021G null mutant in comparison with the parental strain showed decreased cell growth in nitrate-containing but not in ammonium-containing media.
Identification and nitrogen regulation of the cyanase gene from the cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 and Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942
