Marine Synechococcus cyanobacteria are major contributors to global oceanic primary
production and exhibit a unique diversity of photosynthetic pigments, allowing them to exploit a …

Stretching and bending vibrations of water molecules absorb photons of specific wavelengths,
a phenomenon that constrains light energy available for aquatic photosynthesis. Previous …

Synechococcus cyanobacteria are ubiquitous and abundant in the marine environment and
contribute to an estimated 16% of the ocean net primary productivity. Their light-harvesting …

All characterized members of the ubiquitous genus Acaryochloris share the unique property
of containing large amounts of chlorophyll (Chl) d, a pigment exhibiting a red absorption …

Marine Synechococcus cyanobacteria owe their ubiquity in part to the wide pigment diversity
of their light-harvesting complexes. In open ocean waters, cells predominantly possess …

Numbering in excess of 10 million per milliliter of water, it is now undisputed that aquatic
viruses are one of the major factors shaping the ecology and evolution of Earth’s microbial world…

Genetic tools derived from the Cas9 RNA-guided nuclease are providing essential capabilities
to study and engineer bacteria. While the importance of off-target effects was noted early …

Chromophore attachment of the light-harvesting apparatus represents one of the most
important post-translational modifications in photosynthetic cyanobacteria. Extensive pigment …

Marine Synechococcus are the second most abundant photosynthetic organisms on the
planet. These picocyanobacteria present very diverse pigmentations due to differences in the …

Synechococcus picocyanobacteria are ubiquitous and abundant photosynthetic organisms
in the marine environment and contribute for an estimated 16% of the ocean net primary …
