Cyanobacterial type I CRISPR-Cas systems: distribution, mechanisms, and genome editing applications
Cyanobacteria, renowned for their photosynthetic capabilities, serve as efficient microbial chassis capable of converting carbon dioxide into a spectrum of bio-chemicals. However, conventional genetic manipulation strategies have proven incompatible with

Lipopolysaccharides of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa [PDF]
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of two isolates of Microcystis aeruginosa were extracted with phenol/water and purified. Cesium chloride gradient ultracentrifugation of these preparations yielded only one fraction. The LPS contained significant amounts of 3‐deoxy‐d‐manno‐octulosonic acid, glucose, 3‐deoxy sugars, glucosamine, fatty acids, fatty acid esters ...

Heterocyst differentiation in the cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
The morphological and ultrastructural aspects of heterocyst differentiation in the branching, filamentous cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus were examined with light and electron microscopy. The earliest differentiation stages involved cytoplasmic changes, including (i) rapid degradation of carboxysomes, (ii) degradation of polysaccharide granules,

Temporal variability of diazotroph community composition in the upwelling region off NW Iberia. [PDF]
Knowledge of the ecology of N2-fixing (diazotrophic) plankton is mainly limited to oligotrophic (sub)tropical oceans. However, diazotrophs are widely distributed and active throughout the global ocean.

Recent occurrence of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, in Waikato lakes of New Zealand. [PDF]
Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii is a toxin-producing species of cyanobacteria that in autumn 2003 was recorded for the first time in three shallow (max. depth ≤5 m) Waikato lakes and a hydro-electric dam on the Waikato River, New Zealand.
