In recent years, the Willamette River has become prone to blooms of cyanobacteria, more commonly known as “blue-green” algae.

Harmful algal blooms impact Willamette River

Health officials warn that algal blooms are particularly dangerous for young children and dogs.

Happy to see published our paper on Regulatory networks in #Anabaena
doi.org/10.1128/msys...

Regulatory networks of FUR and NtcA are intertwined by transcriptional regulators, two-component systems, serine/threonine kinases, and sigma factors in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 | mSystems

FUR proteins in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 are a family of global transcriptional regulators that control several cellular processes ranging from metal homeostasis to nitrogen metabolism. Apart from direct...
