We report a distinct diel periodicity in the abundance of nifH (dinitrogenase reductase) mRNA in natural populations of the nonheterocystous marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium thiebautii. Our observations show that in addition to translational and posttranslational controls, Trichodesmium nitrogenase expression is also regulated at the transcriptional and/or posttranscriptional level.
我们报告了在非异形胞海洋蓝藻束毛藻属(Trichodesmium thiebautii)的自然种群中 nifH(固氮酶还原酶)mRNA 丰度的明显昼夜周期性。我们的观察表明,除了翻译和翻译后控制外,束毛藻属固氮酶的表达还受到转录和/或转录后水平的调节。
