Oxygenic photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy in the chloroplasts of
plants and microalgae as well as in prokaryotic cyanobacteria using a complex machinery …

Cyanobacterial NDH-1 complexes belong to a family of energy converting NAD (P) H:
Quinone oxidoreductases that includes bacterial type-I NADH dehydrogenase and …

RNA-seq and especially differential RNA-seq-type transcriptomic analyses (dRNA-seq) are
powerful analytical tools, as they not only provide insights into gene expression changes but …

Culturing cyanobacteria in a highly alkaline environment is a possible strategy for controlling
contamination by other organisms. Synechocystis PCC 6803 cells were grown in continuous …

Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs, also called flavoproteins, Flvs) are modular enzymes widely
present in Bacteria and Archaea. The evolution of cyanobacteria and oxygenic …

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) play profound roles in ecology and biogeochemistry. One
model cyanobacterial species is the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC …

Photosynthetic organisms have evolved various acclimatory responses to high-light (HL)
conditions to maintain a balance between energy supply (light harvesting and electron …

Synechocystis sp PCC 6803 has four genes encoding flavodiiron proteins (FDPs; Flv1 to
Flv4). Here, we investigated the flv4-flv2 operon encoding the Flv4, Sll0218, and Flv2 …

PII signal transduction proteins are widely spread among all domains of life where they
regulate a multitude of carbon and nitrogen metabolism related processes. Non-diazotrophic …

In cyanobacteria, nitrogen homeostasis is maintained by an intricate regulatory network
around transcription factor NtcA. Although mechanisms controlling NtcA activity appear to be …
