Endosymbiotic Cyanobacteria and Cyanellae

  • Chapter
Cellular Interactions

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 17))

Abstract

Cyanobacteria are outstanding among prokaryotes because of their ability to exploit water-bound protons for photosynthesis and to fix molecular nitrogen. Hence they are successful in nearly all types of biotopes and are also frequently observed in close relationship with other organisms.
