Hormogonium Development and Motility in Filamentous Cyanobacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2023 Filamentous cyanobacteria exhibit some of the greatest developmental complexity observed in the prokaryotic domain. This includes the ability to differentiate nitrogen-fixing cells known as heterocysts, spore-like akinetes, and hormogonia, which are ...

Topological transition in filamentous cyanobacteria: from motion to structure [PDF]
Communications PhysicsMany active systems are capable of forming intriguing patterns at scales significantly larger than the size of their individual constituents. Cyanobacteria are one of the most ancient and important phyla of organisms that has allowed the evolution of ...

The importance of filamentous cyanobacteria in the development of oxygenic photogranules [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Microorganisms often respond to their environment by growing as densely packed communities in biofilms, flocs or granules. One major advantage of life in these aggregates is the retention of its community in an ecosystem despite flowing water.

Identification of a morphogene required for tapered filament termini in filamentous cyanobacteria [PDF]
Microbiology, 2023 Although the photosynthetic cyanobacteria are monophyletic, they exhibit substantial morphological diversity across species, and even within an individual species due to phenotypic plasticity in response to life cycles and environmental signals. This is particularly prominent among the multicellular filamentous cyanobacteria. One example of this is the

Development of a method for phycocyanin recovery from filamentous cyanobacteria and evaluation of its stability and antioxidant capacity [PDF]
BMC Biotechnol, 2021 Background Most commercial phycocyanins are extracted from a filamentous cyanobacterium, Arthrospira ( Spirulina ) platensis. Owing to the expenses of culture and complexities of the physical and chemical methods of phycocyanin purification, a more ...

Chiral gliding: Right-handed navigation of filamentous cyanobacteria [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesCyanobacteria are the earliest known organisms that produced oxygen through photosynthesis, leading to the oxygen atmosphere that allowed the evolution of more complex life forms. Many species of cyanobacteria exhibit gliding motility along surfaces to navigate complex environments and adapt to fluctuating conditions.

Mechanical Reinforcement of Paper Biocomposites Using Filamentous Cyanobacteria [PDF]
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & EngineeringRising concerns over plastic packaging and the growing demand for e-commerce have increased paper-based materials production, thereby intensifying environmental impacts of the paper industry, one of the most polluting industries worldwide. The need to source nonwood fibers to alleviate environmental pressure has brought microalgae into the spotlight as

Formation and maintenance of nitrogen-fixing cell patterns in filamentous cyanobacteria [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 Significance Cyanobacteria produce an important fraction of oxygen on Earth and, together with archaea, fix atmospheric nitrogen used by all other organisms. Some types live in colonies with specialized cells that perform different functions.

Plasticity first: molecular signatures of a complex morphological trait in filamentous cyanobacteria [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2017 Filamentous cyanobacteria that differentiate multiple cell types are considered the peak of prokaryotic complexity and their evolution has been studied in the context of multicellularity origins.
