On the non-oxygenic origins of thylakoids

Communications Biology
Thylakoid membranes are the site of oxygenic photosynthesis, one of the most important biochemical processes on earth. The ancestral state of these membranes is represented today in Gloeobacterales, where they are lacking and photosynthesis instead takes

Exploring Components of the CO2-Concentrating Mechanism in Alkaliphilic Cyanobacteria Through Genome-Based Analysis

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2017
In cyanobacteria, the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) is a vital biological process that provides effective photosynthetic CO2 fixation by elevating the CO2 level near the active site of Rubisco.

Cyanobacterial Blooms and the Presence of Cyanotoxins in the Brazilian Amazon

Toxins
The records of blooms and cyanotoxins in the Brazilian Legal Amazon are scarce and do not represent the reality observed in recent years when there was an increase in notifications and studies carried out in this region.

Genomics of Urea Transport and Catabolism in Cyanobacteria: Biotechnological Implications

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Cyanobacteria are widely-diverse prokaryotes that colonize our planet. They use solar energy to assimilate huge amounts of atmospheric CO2 and produce a large part of the biomass and oxygen that sustain most life forms.

Long-Term Spatial and Temporal Monitoring of Cyanobacteria Blooms Using MODIS on Google Earth Engine: A Case Study in Taihu Lake

Remote Sensing, 2019
As cyanobacteria blooms occur in many types of inland water, routine monitoring that is fast and accurate is important for environment and drinking water protection. Compared to field investigations, satellite remote sensing is an efficient and effective

Application of Biological Nitrogen Fixation Cyanobacteria To Paddy Plant Cultivated Under Deep-Water Culture System

Jurnal Biodjati, 2020
The Biological Nitrogen Fixing (BNF) cyanobacteria can reduce atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium. This ability makes BNF cyanobacteria a potential eco-friendly N-source for soil-planted pad-dy.

Preparation of cyanobacteria-enhanced poly(vinyl)alcohol-based films with resistance to blue-violet light / red light and water.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The harmful cyanobacteria blooms which usually form in spring and summer, cause global eutrophication of freshwater and coastal marine ecosystems. This study tried to utilize cyanobacteria as a raw material to produce biological poly(vinyl)alcohol-based ...
