Synechococcus elongates PCC 7942 growth dependence on iron. By down-regulating or up-regulating proteins involved in electron transport, iron starvation induced a reduction of linear photosynthetic electron transport and an increase in respiratory electron transport (Nodop et al. 2008). Posted online. Nodop, A., D. Pietsch, R. Hocker, A. Becker, E.K. Pistorius, K. Forchhammer and M. Klaus-Peter 2008. Transcript profiling reveals new insights into the acclimation of the mesophilic fresh-water cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 to iron starvation. Plant Physiology 147:747-763.
