Structures of complexes comprised of Fischerella transcription factor HetR with Anabaena DNA targets [PDF]
HetR is an essential regulator of heterocyst development in cyanobacteria. Many mutations in HetR render Anabaena incapable of nitrogen fixation. The protein binds to a DNA palindrome upstream of hetP and other genes.

Evolution of molecular communication in the permanent Azolla symbiosis
Summary Heritable symbioses exist across eukaryotes with different degrees of intimacy. In most cases, the symbionts are obligate and require inheritance for their survival. On the host side, symbiont retention can facilitate fitness benefits. Only rarely are these symbioses interwoven to the point that host survival relies on the symbiont.

Members of the cyanobiont genus Nostoc, forming an endosymbiosis with members of the angiosperm genus Gunnera, undergo a number of characteristic phenotypic changes during the development of the symbiosis, the genetic background of which is largely ...

Dating the cyanobacterial ancestor of the chloroplast [PDF]
Cyanobacteria have played a pivotal role in the history of life on Earth being the first organism to carry out oxygenic photosynthesis, which changed atmospheric chemistry and allowed the evolution of Eukarya.

ABSTRACT The increasing demand for freshwater, in combination with climate change and pollution, compromises the quality and quantity of water resources. These pressures have intensified cyanobacterial blooms, including toxic events that threaten human health and aquatic ecosystems. This study complements the objectives of the Water Framework Directive

Molecular Diffusion through Cyanobacterial Septal Junctions
Heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria grow as filaments in which intercellular molecular exchange takes place. During the differentiation of N2-fixing heterocysts, regulators are transferred between cells.

All4312, an NtcA-regulated two-component response regulator in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 [PDF]
All4312, encoded by open reading frame all4312 in the genome of the heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, exhibits a CheY-like receiver domain and an output domain similar to that of OmpR, characteristic of two-component ...

Phylogeny‐Aware Metabologenomics Accurately Assigns Natural Products to Biosynthetic Gene Clusters
We report a statistical approach for associating biosynthetic gene clusters with their cognate metabolites and demonstrate its unprecedented power for scalable natural product discovery. Notably, it drastically reduces spurious associations by explicitly integrating the phylogeny of microbial producer strains.

ABSTRACT Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microorganisms known for producing diverse bioactive compounds. This study explores the bioactivity of extracts and fractions from Amazonian cyanobacteria and their pigment and phenolic compound production. A fraction from Synechococcus sp. CACIAM 05 showed cytotoxicity against hCMEC/D3 and MG‐63 cells.
