Cyanobacteria are one of the earliest branching groups of organisms on the planet, and
during their evolutionary history were submitted to varying selective pressures. Nowadays …

Photosynthesis has recently gained considerable attention for its potential role in the
development of renewable energy sources. Optimizing photosynthetic organisms for …

As the oldest known lineage of oxygen-releasing photosynthetic organisms, cyanobacteria
play the key roles in helping shaping the ecology of Earth. Iron is an ideal transition metal for …

The genome of the unicellular, euryhaline cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002
encodes about 3200 proteins. Transcripts were detected for nearly all annotated open …

Cyanobacteria and microalgae are attractive photoautotrophic host systems for climate-
friendly production of fuels and other value-added biochemicals. However, for economic …

We designed and constructed a controllable inducing lysis system in Synechocystis sp. PCC
6803 to facilitate extracting lipids for biofuel production. Several bacteriophage-derived lysis …

In this article, we demonstrate the connection between intracellular iron storage and
oxidative stress response in cyanobacteria. Iron is essential for the survival of all organisms …

Response regulators of two-component systems play pivotal roles in the transcriptional
regulation of responses to environmental signals in bacteria. Rre37, an OmpR-type …

Abstract Background The unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is a
model microbe for studying biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology of photobiological …

The family of PII signal transduction proteins (members GlnB, GlnK, NifI) plays key roles in
various cellular processes related to nitrogen metabolism at different functional levels …
