Phycobilisomes: modular light‐harvesting systems of cyanobacteria and red algae
The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.SUMMARY Phycobilisomes (PBSs) are supramolecular pigment–protein complexes that function as the principal light‐harvesting antennae in cyanobacteria, red algae (Rhodophyta), and glaucophytes, and to a lesser extent in cryptophytes. Because the intrinsic chlorophyll‐based antennae of the photosystems absorb poorly in the green region of the spectrum ...

Employing Nanotechnology to Enhance Ethanol Production in Two Synechococcus elongatus Strains
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.Here, we report on how bacterial microcompartment technology can be used to improve bioproduction in cyanobacteria. Fusion of encapsulation peptides to the two enzymes of the ethanol biosynthetic pathway increased ethanol titres up to 84 times. 1.31 g L−1 of ethanol was produced in 6 days.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 31, 27 July 2026.A fully protein‐based hydrogel integrated two orthogonal photoreceptors to enable reversible manipulation of stiffness with red/far‐red light and irreversible gel‐sol transitions with green light. Unexpectedly, high‐intensity red light results in attenuated stiffening and dark‐adaptation, arising from increased crosslinking dynamics in the ...

Total Synthesis of Sacrolide A and Cytotoxic Evaluation
European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 27, 17 July 2026.Isolated from the edible cyanobacterium Aphanothece sacrum, sacrolide A is a highly potent antimicrobial and cytotoxic metabolite. Its total synthesis via a convergent strategy enabled accurate assessment of its effects on liver and colon cells, offering new insights into its bioactivity and potential health risks.
