ABSTRACT Carbon/nitrogen (C/N) balance sensing is a key requirement for the
maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Therefore, cyanobacteria have evolved a …

Cyanobacteria are promising microorganisms for sustainable biotechnologies, yet unlocking
their potential requires radical re-engineering and application of cutting-edge synthetic …

More than 55 distinct classes of riboswitches that respond to small metabolites or elemental
ions have been experimentally validated to date. The ligands sensed by these riboswitches …

Global warming and climate instability have spurred interest in using renewable carbon
resources for the sustainable production of chemicals. Cyanobacteria are ideal cellular …

Carbon and nitrogen are the two most abundant nutrient elements for all living organisms,
and their metabolism is tightly coupled. What are the signaling mechanisms that cells use to …

Glutamine (Gln) is the first amino acid synthesized in nitrogen (N) assimilation in plants. Gln
synthetase (GS), converting glutamate (Glu) and NH4+ into Gln at the expense of ATP, is …

Cyanobacteria have raised great interest in biotechnology due to their potential for a
sustainable, photosynthesis-driven production of fuels and value-added chemicals. This has …

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microorganisms capable of using solar energy to convert
CO2 and H2O into O2 and energy-rich organic compounds, thus enabling sustainable …

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

Introduction Cyanobacteria appeared in the anoxic Archean Earth, evolving for the first time
oxygenic photosynthesis and deeply changing the atmosphere by introducing oxygen …
