Ecological, Functional, and Phylogenetic Determinants of Cyanobacterial Biomineralisation. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepCyanobacteria contribute to the global carbon cycle by biomineralising CO2 into solid carbonates. Unlike photosynthesis, biomineralisation is a less‐understood, multifaceted and adaptive metabolic process with significant global impact. It involves cell wall structures, genetic factors, and metabolic pathways that enable mineral formation and help ...

Recent Applications of Metabolomics Toward Cyanobacteria
Metabolites, 2013 Our knowledge on cyanobacterial molecular biology increased tremendously by the application of the “omics” techniques. Only recently, metabolomics was applied systematically to model cyanobacteria. Metabolomics, the quantitative estimation of ideally the

The rnb gene of Synechocystis PCC6803 encodes a RNA hydrolase displaying RNase II and not RNase R enzymatic properties. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotic organisms that share characteristics with bacteria and chloroplasts regarding mRNA degradation. Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 is a model organism for cyanobacteria, but not much is known about the mechanism of RNA

Engineering Nitrogen Fixation Activity in an Oxygenic Phototroph
mBio, 2018 Biological nitrogen fixation is catalyzed by nitrogenase, a complex metalloenzyme found only in prokaryotes. N2 fixation is energetically highly expensive, and an energy-generating process such as photosynthesis can meet the energy demand of N2 fixation.

RNA Isolation from Synechocystis
BIO-PROTOCOL, 2015 The protocol describes the procedure of total RNA isolation from cells of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. This protocol is also applicable to Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 and PCC 6301, Thermosynechococcus vulcanus, and other unicellular and filamentous species of cyanobacteria that do not have thick polysaccharide-containing outer ...

An Improved Natural Transformation Protocol for the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The naturally transformable cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is a widely used chassis strain for the photosynthetic production of chemicals. However, Synechocystis possesses multiple genome copies per cell which means that segregating mutations ...
