Amino acid analog induces stress response in marine Synechococcus

In this study, we explored the use of BONCAT in Synechococcus sp. – a globally important cyanobacteria. We characterized the growth and microscopically quantified HPG uptake under a range of HPG concentrations in marine Synechococcus sp. Further, we examined changes in protein expression of Synechococcus sp. grown under normal and nitrate-stressed conditions relative to a non-HPG control.
