Assessment of novel halo- and thermotolerant desert cyanobacteria for phycobiliprotein production [PDF]
Four indigenous cyanobacteria isolates identified as QUCCCM 34: Chroococcidiopsis sp., QUCCCM 54: Pleurocapsa sp., QUCCCM 77: Euhalothece sp., and QUCCCM 129: Cyanobacterium sp. were investigated during this study. Temperatures and salinities observed in

Effects of Spirulina Enrichment on Bread Quality: Color, Texture, Volatile, and Sensory Properties
This study explored how the addition of 1%–2% Spirulina powder affects bread quality, focusing on color, texture, volatile compounds, and sensory characteristics. Spirulina mainly influenced bread color and volatile profile, while texture remained largely unchanged. The enriched samples also showed more pronounced bitter and marine notes.

Abstract Unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacteria contribute up to ~50% of marine N2 fixation, and Crocosphaera watsonii, characterized by high phycoerythrin (PE) content, is among one of the key species in tropical and subtropical oceans. Although recent observations have revealed heterogeneous N2 fixation activity within C.

Evolutionary insights into bilin biosynthesis: Functional characterization of pre‐PcyA enzymes
Abstract Biosynthesis of the linear tetrapyrrole phycocyanobilin (PCB) by the ferredoxin‐dependent bilin reductase (FDBR) PcyA is essential for light‐harvesting and regulatory processes in diverse photosynthetic organisms, yet its evolutionary origins are not fully understood. PcyA evolved from pre‐PcyA proteins found in diverse bacteria.

SUMMARY The photosynthetic thylakoid membrane systems of many oxygenic photosynthesizers form elaborate three‐dimensional structures. Curvature Thylakoid (CurT/CURT1) proteins are central regulators of thylakoid architecture in cyanobacteria and plants, driving both grana stacking and the formation of thylakoid convergence zones (TCZs) by promoting ...
