The upstream sequence of the phycocyanin b subunit gene from Arthrospira platensis regulates expression of gfp gene in response to light intensity

In cyanobacteria, few details are known of the mechanisms through which the expression of the light-harvesting pigment c-phycocyanin is regulated. In the present study, a 419 bp upstream sequence of the phycocyanin b subunit (cpcB) gene from Arthrospira platensis FACHB341 was fused with green fluore...
