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.

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.

Osmotic Adaptation and Compatible Solute Biosynthesis of Phototrophic Bacteria as Revealed from Genome Analyses [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Osmotic adaptation and accumulation of compatible solutes is a key process for life at high osmotic pressure and elevated salt concentrations. Most important solutes that can protect cell structures and metabolic processes at high salt concentrations are

Boundaries of photosynthesis: adaptations of carbon fixation in extreme environments [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1028-1040, July 2025.Photosynthesis faces challenges from environmental extremes of temperature, pH, and salinity, limiting gas diffusion, modifying membrane fluidity, and destabilizing photochemical and biochemical reactions. Photosynthetic organisms have evolved unique adaptations overcoming these stresses and maintaining their photosynthetic activity.

Adaptive Responses of Cyanobacteria to Phosphate Limitation: A Focus on Marine Diazotrophs [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2024.Marine diazotrophic cyanobacteria, which are essential for atmospheric nitrogen fixation in low‐nutrient oceans, have developed various strategies to survive under phosphate (Pi) limitation by using high‐affinity transporters and enzymes that break down dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP).
