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

Origin and evolution of water oxidation before the last common ancestor of the Cyanobacteria [PDF]
, 2015 Photosystem II, the water oxidizing enzyme, altered the course of evolution by filling the atmosphere with oxygen. Here, we reconstruct the origin and evolution of water oxidation at an unprecedented level of detail by studying the phylogeny of all D1 ...

Hanks-Type Serine/Threonine Protein Kinases and Phosphatases in Bacteria: Roles in Signaling and Adaptation to Various Environments [PDF]
, 2018 Reversible phosphorylation is a key mechanism that regulates many cellular processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, signal transduction includes two-component signaling systems, which involve a membrane sensor histidine kinase and a ...

Cytochrome c 6-like protein as a putative donor of electrons to photosystem I in the cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. PCC 7119 [PDF]
, 2011 Most organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis contain either cytochrome c 6 or plastocyanin, or both, to transfer electrons from cytochrome b 6-f to photosystem I. Even though plastocyanin has superseded cytochrome c 6 along evolution, plants contain

Expression of psbA1 gene in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is influenced by CO2
Open Life Sciences, 2017 In almost all cyanobacteria a small gene family encodes the photosystem II reaction center D1 proteins that play vital roles in the cell. Recently, several types of this protein were functionally characterised and the conditions for their transcript ...
