Adjustments to Photosystem Stoichiometry and Electron Transfer Proteins Are Key to the Remarkably Fast Growth of the Cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973

mBio, 2018
At the genome level, Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973 (Synechococcus 2973) is nearly identical to the model cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 (Synechococcus 7942) with only 55 single nucleotide differences separating the two strains ...

Recent advances in engineering fast-growing cyanobacterial species for enhanced CO2 fixation

Frontiers in Climate
Atmospheric CO2 removal (CDR) is a fundamentally endergonic process. Performing CDR or Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) at the gigatonne scale will produce a significant additional burden on the planet’s limited renewable energy ...

Seawater carbonate chemistry and photoinhibition of the Picophytoplankter Synechococcus

, 2023
The marine picocyanobacterium Synechococcus accounts for a major fraction of the primary production across the global oceans. However, knowledge of the responses of Synechococcus to changing pCO2 and light levels has been scarcely documented.

Diversity and distribution of marine Synechococcus: multiple gene phylogenies for consensus classification and development of qPCR assays for sensitive measurement of clades in the ocean

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Marine Synechococcus is a globally significant genus of cyanobacteria that is comprised of multiple genetic lineages or clades. These clades are thought to represent ecologically distinct units, or ecotypes.

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

Seasonal Variations of Community Structure and Functional Genes of Synechococcus in the Subtropical Coastal Waters: Insights from FACS and High-Throughput Sequencing

Microorganisms
Synechococcus plays a pivotal role in the marine biogeochemical cycle. Advances in isolation techniques and high-throughput sequencing have expanded our understanding of the diversity of the Synechococcus community.

Identification and characterization of a gene conferring stress resistance in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Functional screening identified PcSyn14890, a cyanobacteria‐specific protein that enhances growth and stress resistance in E. coli and Synechocystis PCC6803. Although we expected it to function as a molecular chaperone, it was unable to protect against thermal aggregation of GAPDH.

Phylogeny and taxonomy of Synechococcus–like cyanobacteria [PDF]

, 2020
Unicellular cyanobacteria constitute a substantial, ecologically important part of freshwater and marine microflora. Solitary, elongated cyanobacterial cells without apparent slime envelopes and dividing in a single plane perpendicular to the ...

Diel rhythmicity in amino acid uptake by Prochlorococcus [PDF]

, 2008
The marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus, the most abundant phototrophic organism on Earth, numerically dominates the phytoplankton in nitrogen (N)-depleted oceanic gyres.
