Using the diel cycle of ocean microbes to better understand their biogeochemical functions

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 434-447, August 2025.
Abstract The daily cycle of solar radiation has a profound influence in structuring the physiology of microbes in the euphotic zone and subsequently setting the degree of coupling across trophic levels within ocean ecosystems. There has been an upsurge of interest in the biological role of the diel cycle and the ability to probe it using molecular ...

Radical mechanism of cyanophage phycoerythrobilin synthase (PebS)

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2011
PEB (phycoerythrobilin) is a pink-coloured open-chain tetrapyrrole molecule found in the cyanobacterial light-harvesting phycobilisome. Within the phycobilisome, PEB is covalently bound via thioether bonds to conserved cysteine residues of the phycobiliprotein subunits.

An atomic force microscopy investigation of cyanophage structure [PDF]

open access: yesMicron, 2012
Marine viruses have only relatively recently come to the attention of molecular biologists, and the extraordinary diversity of potential host organisms suggests a new wealth of genetic and structural forms. A promising technology for characterizing and describing the viruses structurally is atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Telomeres in Evolution and Development from Biosemiotic Perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Telomeres identify natural chromosome ends being different from broken DNA through differences in their "molecular syntax" (M.Eigen) which determines the functions of reverse transcriptase and its integrated RNA template, telomerase.

Purine Chemistry in the Early RNA World at the Origins of Life: From RNA and Nucleobases Lesions to Current Key Metabolic Routes

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 11, June 3, 2025.
In the nascent processes of the beginnings and evolution of life, nucleobases and especially purines, ribonucleos(t)ides and primitive RNAs have been continuously modified. A RNA‐peptide world and key metabolic pathways probably have emerged from the corresponding chemical modifications resulting from adenine deamination, purine alkylation and ...

Solar radiation-driven decay of cyanophage infectivity, and photoreactivation of the cyanophage by host cyanobacteria [PDF]

open access: yesAquatic Microbial Ecology, 2007
Cyanophage PP (isolated from Plectonema boryanum and Phormidium foveolarum and named after the respective first letters of its 2 hosts) is a short-tailed, icosahedral-shaped, and double- stranded DNA virus and can be frequently detected with a high abundance and activity in many eutrophic lakes in Wuhan City, PR China.

CyanoNews (Vol. 1, No. 1, July 1985) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
CyanoNews was a newsletter that served the cyanobacteriological community from 1985 to 2003, with content provided by readers (sort of a blog before there were blogs). The newsletter reported new findings from the lab, summaries of recent meetings (often
