Probing Synechocystis-arsenic interactions through extracellular nanowires [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Microbial nanowires (MNWs) can play an important role in the transformation and mobility of toxic metals/metalloids in environment. The potential role of MNWs in cell-arsenic (As) interactions has not been reported in microorganisms and thus we explored ...

Synechocystis: A model system for expanding the study of cyanobacterial circadian rhythms

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
The study of circadian rhythms in bacteria was transformed by studies of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. However, in a number of respects S. elongatus is atypical, and while those unusual characteristics were helpful for rapid progress in the

High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of photosystem II from the mesophilic cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Photosystem II (PSII) is a photo-oxidoreductase that harnesses light energy to use water to make fuel. Water oxidation occurs at a metal cluster in the active site called the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC).

Unraveling individual and combined toxicity of nano/microplastics and ciprofloxacin to Synechocystis sp. at the cellular and molecular levels.

Environment International, 2021
Although nanoplastics/microplastics (NPs/MPs) may interact with co-contaminants (e.g. antibiotics) in aquatic systems, little is known about their combined toxicity.
