Simazine Enhances Dark Fermentative H2 Production by Unicellular Halotolerant Cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 The halotolerant cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica is a potential H2 producer that induces H2 evolution under nitrogen deprivation. H2 is mainly produced via the catabolism of stored glycogen under dark anaerobic condition. H2 evolution is catalyzed

A glimpse into darkness: Diversity of culturable cyanobacteria, green algae and fungi from subaerial cave biofilms. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract Caves and hypogean environments provide stable microclimates characterized by uniform temperatures, constant humidity, and low light levels. In such sites, extremely low light irradiance can support the growth of subaerial biofilms (SABs) dominated by unique photosynthetic communities of cyanobacteria accompanied by chlorophytes, heterotrophic
