Establishment of an isolation method of Nostoc commune cells free from extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) using Percoll centrifugation

Antarctic Record, 2012
The terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune Vaucher ex Bornet et Flahault occurs worldwide, including in Japan and Antarctica. N. commune has a large amount of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) that hold moisture and protect the cells and at the same

Cyanobacteria-Pesticide Interactions and Their Implications for Sustainable Rice Agroecosystems. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Modern agricultural practices rely heavily on fertilizers and pesticides to boost crop yields, essential for feeding the growing global population. However, their extensive use poses significant environmental risks. Chemical‐based fertilizers and pesticides persist in ecosystems, potentially harming ecological stability.

Mechanisms to Avoid Photoinhibition in a Desiccation-Tolerant Cyanobacterium, Nostoc commune [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2008
A desiccation-tolerant cyanobacterium, Nostoc commune, shows unique responses to dehydration. These responses are: (i) loss of PSII activity in parallel with the loss of photosynthesis; (ii) loss of PSI activity; and (iii) dissipation of light energy absorbed by pigment-protein complexes. In this study, the deactivation of PSII is shown to be important

Geographical Variability of Mineral Elements and Stability of Restrictive Mineral Elements in Terrestrial Cyanobacteria Across Gradients of Climate, Soil, and Atmospheric Wet Deposition Mineral Concentration

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Terrestrial cyanobacteria Nostoc commune is an ideal species to study the geographical variation of mineral elements of soil cyanobacteria at the species level. Here, we first address the following questions: (1) from where are these mineral elements, (2)

Molecular α-relaxation process of exopolysaccharides extracted from Nostoc commune cyanobacteria

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2020
Broadband dielectric spectroscopy was used to investigate the molecular α-relaxation of the exopolysaccharides (EPS) extracted from Nostoc commune cyanobacteria. The EPS were modified in different ways. EPS were carboxymethylated to obtain carboxymethyl-exopolysaccharides (CEPS).
