Carotenoids are of great interest due to their essential biological functions in both plants and
animals. However, the properties and functions of carotenoids in natural systems are …

Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, which numerically dominate vast oceanic areas, are
the two most abundant oxygenic phototrophs on Earth. Although they require solar energy …

Prokaryotic cyanobacteria express robust circadian (daily) rhythms under the control of a
clock system that appears to be similar to those of eukaryotes in many ways. On the other …

Confirmation of gene expression by a second methodology is critical in order to detect false-
positive findings associated with microarrays. However, the impact of methodology upon the …

The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 has been established as the
