In this chapter, we mainly focus on the acclimation of cyanobacteria to the changing ambient
CO2 and discuss mechanisms of inorganic carbon (Ci) uptake, photorespiration, and the …

In metabolic engineering, the production of industrially relevant chemicals, via rational
engineering of microorganisms, is an intensive area of research. One particular group of …

The molecular and physiological mechanisms involved in the transition of microbial cells
from a resting state to the active vegetative state are critically relevant for solving problems in …

The Freiburg RNA tools webserver is a well established online resource for RNA-focused
research. It provides a unified user interface and comprehensive result visualization for …

Even though sunlight energy far outweighs the energy required by human activities, its
utilization is a key goal in the field of renewable energies. Microalgae have emerged as a …

Glutamine synthetase (GS), a key enzyme in biological nitrogen assimilation, is regulated in
multiple ways in response to varying nitrogen sources and levels. Here we show a small …

As important oxygenic photoautotrophs, cyanobacteria are also generally considered as one
of the most promising microbial chassis for photosynthetic biomanufacturing. Diverse …

Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is a cyanobacterial model strain widely used to study many
biological processes and is also applied for the production of biopolymers. Recently, it was …

Cyanobacteria are highly diverse, widely distributed photosynthetic bacteria inhabiting
various environments ranging from deserts to the cryosphere. Throughout this range of …

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) are found in drylands, cover∼ 12% of the Earth's surface in arid
and semi-arid lands and their destruction is considered an important promoter of …
