Interaction of flavodoxin with cyanobacterial thylakoids
Photosynthesis Research, 1993 Flavodoxin from the cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7119 has been shown to mediate, under illumination, the transfer of electrons from the thylakoidal membranes that were isolated from the same organism, to both the enzyme ferredoxin-NADP(+) reductase and cytochrome c.

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy
BMEMat, EarlyView.Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

A structure of the relict phycobilisome from a thylakoid-free cyanobacterium
Nature Communications, 2023 Phycobilisomes (PBS) are antenna megacomplexes that transfer energy to photosystems II and I in thylakoids. PBS likely evolved from a basic, inefficient form into the predominant hemidiscoidal shape with radiating peripheral rods.

Biogenesis and origin of thylakoid membranes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2001 Thylakoids are photosynthetically active membranes found in Cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. It is likely that they originated in photosynthetic bacteria, probably in close connection to the occurrence of photosystem II and oxygenic photosynthesis. In higher plants, chloroplasts develop from undifferentiated proplastids.

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.We developed an effective ex‐situ conservation approach for an endangered orchid species, Dendrobium sinominutiflorum. A compatible fungal strain Tulasnella sp. was obtained by using in‐situ seed baiting technique. The Symbiotic germination with Tulasnella sp. significantly promotes seed germination and seedling growth.

Thylakoid membrane function in heterocysts
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2016 Multicellular cyanobacteria form different cell types in response to environmental stimuli. Under nitrogen limiting conditions a fraction of the vegetative cells in the filament differentiate into heterocysts. Heterocysts are specialized in atmospheric nitrogen fixation and differentiation involves drastic morphological changes on the cellular level ...
