Abstract:Cyanobacteria, ubiquitous oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria, interact with the environment and their surrounding microbiome through the secretion of a variety of small molecules and proteins. The release of these compounds is mediated by sophisticated multi-protein complexes, also known as secretion systems. Genomic analyses indicate that protein and metabolite secretion systems are widely found in cyanobacteria; however little is known regarding their function, regulation and secreted effectors. One such syste… Show more
