We analyzed the metabolic rhythms and differential gene expression in the unicellular, diazotrophic cyanobacterium Cyanothece sp. strain ATCC 51142 under N(2)-fixing conditions after a shift from normal 12-h light-12-h dark cycles to continuous light. We found that the mRNA levels of approximately 10% of the genes in the genome demonstrated circadian behavior during growth in free-running (continuous light) conditions. The genes for N(2) fixation displayed a strong circadian behavior, whereas ph ...[more]
