Abstract:
:The hepA gene in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 is required for normal formation of the polysaccharide layer of the heterocyst envelope. A plasmid bearing hepA, interrupted by a neomycin-resistance cassette, was transferred by conjugation to wild type Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413, so that the interrupted hepA gene replaced a homologous sequence. In the recombinant exconjugants, the envelopes of akinetes as well as of heterocysts were altered.
