Advances in imaging technologies have revealed that many bacteria possess organelles
with a proteomically defined lumen and a macromolecular boundary. Some are bound by a …

Cultivation of microalgae requires consideration of shear stress, which is generated by
operations such as mixing, circulation, aeration and pumping that are designed to facilitate …

Abstract CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs), based either on active transport of
inorganic carbon (biophysical CCMs) or on biochemistry involving supplementary carbon …

While photosynthetic processes have become increasingly understood in cyanobacterial
model strains, differences in the spatial distribution of thylakoid membranes among various …

Today oxygenic photosynthesis is unique to cyanobacteria and their plastid relatives within
eukaryotes. Although its origin before the Great Oxidation Event is still debated,,–, the …

Cyanobacteria, or oxyphotobacteria, are primary producers that establish ecological
interactions with a wide variety of organisms. Although their associations with eukaryotes …

Because of recent advances in omics methodologies, knowledge of chlorophototrophy (ie,
chlorophyll-based phototrophy) in bacteria has rapidly increased. Chlorophototrophs …

Cyanobacterial blooms caused by eutrophication have become a major environmental
problem in aquatic ecosystems worldwide over the last few decades. Phosphorus is a …

Carboxysomes are protein-based organelles that are essential for allowing cyanobacteria to
fix CO2. Previously, we identified a two-component system, McdAB, responsible for …

Cyanobacteria constitute the only phylum of oxygen-evolving photosynthetic prokaryotes
that shaped the oxygenic atmosphere of our planet. Over time, cyanobacteria have evolved …
