Weathering represents severe destruction to outdoor cultural rock heritages. In the process,
biological weathering caused by microorganisms is known to be the key process. With …

Pigment-based color is one of the most important phenotypic traits of biofilms at the mineral–
air interface (subaerial biofilms, SABs), because it reflects the physiology of the microbial …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a central role in the microbial ecology and
biogeochemistry of aquatic environments, yet little is known about how the mechanism of …

Cyanobacteria that do not fix atmospheric nitrogen gas survive prolonged periods of
nitrogen starvation in a chlorotic, dormant state where cell growth and metabolism are …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) frequently occur in eutrophic water bodies, which are often
dominated by either non‐diazotrophic or diazotrophic strains of cyanobacteria. The …

Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is the most abundant type of glycoglycerolipid found
in the plant cell membrane and mostly in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. The …

Among the non-target microorganisms residing in crop fields that are potentially vulnerable
to herbicides are cyanobacteria. They contribute to the maintenance of soil quality and …

In this study, we presented cellular morphological changes, time-resolved biochemical
composition, photosynthetic performance and proteomic profiling to capture the …

Oxygenic photosynthetic organisms have evolved a multitude of mechanisms for protection
against high-light stress. IsiA, a chlorophyll a-binding cyanobacterial protein, serves as an …

Phycobilisomes (PBSs) are large (3–5 megadalton) pigment-protein complexes in
cyanobacteria that associate with thylakoid membranes and harvest light primarily for …
