Abstract
In a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium, Anabaena cylindrica, an immediate light-to-dark transition caused an increase in cAMP concentration within 1 min. Conversely, a dark-to-light transition caused a rapid fall in cellular cAMP concentration. The concentration of cyclic 3′5′-GMP(cGMP) was several times lower than that of cAMP and was not largely affected by a light-off or light-on signal.
