Spontaneous deletion of an "ORFanage" region facilitates host adaptation in a "photosynthetic" cyanophage [PDF]

, 2015
Viruses have been suggested to be the largest source of genetic diversity on Earth. Genome sequencing and metagenomic surveys reveal that novel genes with unknown functions are abundant in viral genomes.

Dynamics and Distribution of Marine Synechococcus Abundance and Genotypes during Seasonal Hypoxia in a Coastal Marine Ranch

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Marine Synechococcus are an ecologically important picocyanobacterial group widely distributed in various oceanic environments. Little is known about the dynamics and distribution of Synechococcus abundance and genotypes during seasonal hypoxia in ...

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.

Damped circadian oscillation in the absence of KaiA in Synechococcus [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2020
AbstractProteins KaiA, KaiB and KaiC constitute a biochemical circadian oscillator in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. It has been reported kaiA inactivation completely abolishes circadian oscillations. However, we show here that kaiBC promoter activity exhibits a damped, low-amplitude oscillation with a period of approximately 24 h in kaiA ...

Harnessing microbial power to degrade hydrocarbon‐based plastics

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing global plastic waste crisis demands the development of urgent, effective, and sustainable solutions. While conventional recycling methods present intrinsic limitations, microbial biodegradation of plastic waste has emerged as a promising alternative.

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.

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.

One Yeast, Sixteen Synthetic Chromosomes, Infinite Possibilities

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolution of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, from a genetically tractable model organism to a chassis for genome‐scale engineering represents one of the most influential trajectories in eukaryotic biology. The Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc2.0) embodies the current height of this trajectory, having now delivered functional ...

Photosynthetic Adaptation in Synechococcus Cells

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1982
Abstract The cyanobacterium Synechococcus (Anacystis nidulans, strain L 1401-1) grown under different light conditions showed variations in pigmentation. Ratios of photosynthetic pigments and the effect on quantum requirement and oxygen evolution were studied. An increase in the ratio of chlorophyll a forms with absorption maxima in the

Co‐Culture of Mammalian Cells and Photosynthetic Microorganisms for Oxygen Supply in Engineered Tissues

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Continuous 28‐day light exposure alters behaviours of articular cartilage progenitor cells (ACPCs) and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Co‐culture with Leptolyngbya and Synechococcus does not adversely affect the chondrogenic capacity of ACPCs over a 28‐day period, in contrast to co‐culture with Chlorella.
