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

Effects of the Photosystem II Inhibitors CCCP and DCMU on Hydrogen Production by the Unicellular Halotolerant Cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2019 The unicellular halotolerant cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica is a potential dark fermentative producer of molecular hydrogen (H2) that produces very little H2 under illumination. One factor limiting the H2 photoproduction of this cyanobacterium is

Gliding motility in Aphanothece halophytica: analysis of wall proteins in mot mutants. [PDF]
J Bacteriol, 1981 The unicellular cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica (PCC 7418) is motile, and spontaneous nonmotile (mot) mutants accumulate when the organism is subcultured. Analysis of mot mutants suggests that a glycoprotein in the cell wall is involved in the motility mechanism.

Halotolerant cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica contains a betaine transporter active at alkaline pH and high salinity. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2006 ABSTRACT Aphanothece halophytica is a halotolerant alkaliphilic cyanobacterium which can grow in media of up to 3.0 M NaCl and pH 11. This cyanobacterium can synthesize betaine from glycine by three-step methylation using S -adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor.

Extraction and Quantification of Alkanes in Cyanobacteria
Bio-Protocol, 2015 Many species of cyanobacteria accumulate alkanes in their cells. It has been reported that these cyanobacteria accumulate mainly 15 long carbon chain alkane, pentadecane (C15H32), or/and 17 long chain alkane, heptadecane (C17H36).
