Abstract
Differentiated cell types can form patterns in filamentous cyanobacteria. Specifically the genus Anabaena has received special interest because under nitrogen-limiting conditions some of the vegetative cells differentiate into a nitrogen-fixing form called heterocyst [1]. These heterocysts cannot undergo cell division or have photosynthetic activity, but share fixed nitrogen products with the whole filament. In order to efficiently distribute the fixed nitrogen, heterocysts are arranged forming quasiregular patterns in the filament...
