Nitrogen-deprived filaments of wild-type or hetC Anabaena sp. produce respectively, at semiregular intervals, heterocysts and weakly fluorescent cells. Unlike heterocysts, the latter cells can divide and elongate, producing a pattern of spaced series of small cells. Because a hetR::gfp fusion is expressed most strongly in the small cells, we propose that these small cells represent a very early stage of heterocyst differentiation. hetC::gfp is expressed most strongly in proheterocysts and heterocysts.
野生型或hetC鱼腥藻的缺氮丝状体分别以半规则间隔产生异形胞和弱荧光细胞。与异形胞不同,后一种细胞可以分裂和伸长,产生一系列间隔排列的小细胞模式。由于hetR::gfp融合蛋白在小细胞中表达最强,我们提出这些小细胞代表异形胞分化的一个非常早期阶段。hetC::gfp在原异形胞和异形胞中表达最强。
