Uptake of 16 amino acids by the filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 was characterized with regard to kinetic parameters of transport, intracellular accumulation of the transported amino acids, and sensitivity of the transport process to energy metabolism inhibitors. Mutants resistant to certain toxic...

The activities of uptake of thirteen 14C-labeled amino acids were determined in nine cyanobacteria, including the unicellular strains Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 and Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803; the filamentous strain Pseudanabaena sp. strain PCC 6903, and the filamentous, heterocyst-forming strains Anabaena sp. strains PCC 7120 and...

Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent genetic cause of intellectual disability including hippocampal-dependent memory defcits. We have previously reported hippocampal mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) hyperactiva‑ tion, and related plasticity as well as memory defcits in Ts1Cje mice, a DS experimental model. Here we character‑ ize the...
