Cadmium triggers an integrated reprogramming of the metabolism of Synechocystis PCC6803 under the control of the Slr1738 regulator

摘要

BackgroundCadmium is a persistent pollutant that threatens most biological organisms, including cyanobacteria that support a large part of the biosphere. Using a multifaceted approach, we have investigated the global responses to Cd and other relevant stresses (H2O2 and Fe) in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803.
