Key Findings
- The study by Aix Marseille Univ, CNRS, focused on sigma70 factors in cyanobacteria, which are crucial for initiating transcription
- Researchers provided a more accurate classification of sigma70 factors based on their modular organization
- This new classification helps explain how cyanobacteria adapt to various environmental conditions and has practical implications for biotechnology and environmental science
