Abstract: | A transformant of Anabaena 7120 was made by introducing a plasmidthat includes an adenylate cyclase gene of Anabaena cylindrica.Expression of this gene was driven by the bacterial tac promoter.Transformants accumulate cAMP 170 fold higher than the concentrationin the parental strain. The transformation resulted in the fragmentationof filaments in both nitrogen-replete and nitrogen-free media.It was suggested that this fragmentation caused the inhibitionof growth under nitrogen-fixing conditions.
