Plastoquinone Lipids: Their Synthesis via a Bifunctional Gene and Physiological Function in a Euryhaline Cyanobacterium, Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002

Microorganisms, 2023
Eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms synthesize triacylglycerols, which are crucial physiologically as major carbon and energy storage compounds and commercially as food oils and raw materials for carbon-neutral biofuel production.

Cytochrome cM decreases photosynthesis under photomixotrophy in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [PDF]

, 2020
Photomixotrophy is a metabolic state that enables photosynthetic microorganisms to simultaneously perform photosynthesis and metabolism of imported organic carbon substrates.

The primary carbon metabolism in cyanobacteria and its regulation

Frontiers in Plant Science
Cyanobacteria are the only prokaryotes capable of performing oxygenic photosynthesis. Many cyanobacterial strains can live in different trophic modes, ranging from photoautotrophic and heterotrophic to mixotrophic growth.

Effect of crowding on the electron transfer process from plastocyanin and cytochrome c6 to photosystem I: a comparative study from cyanobacteria to green algae [PDF]

, 2011
Plastocyanin and cytochrome c 6, the alternate donor proteins to photosystem I, can be acidic, neutral or basic; the role of electrostatics in their interaction with photosystem I vary accordingly for cyanobacteria, algae and plants.

The genome sequence of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 substrain GT‐T and its implications for the evolution of PCC 6803 substrains

FEBS Open Bio, 2023
Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is a model cyanobacterium, glucose‐tolerant substrains of which are commonly used as laboratory strains. In recent years, it has become evident that ‘wild‐type’ strains used in different laboratories show some differences in ...
