Calochaete gen. nov. (Cyanobacteria, Nostocales), a new cyanobacterial type from the “páramo” zone in Costa Rica
A new tapered and false branched morphotype of filamentous heterocytous cyanobacterium was isolated from soil material collected on a massif of Chirripó Mountain, Costa Rica. The strain was analyzed morphologically and a sequence of its 16S rRNA gene was compared with available 16S rDNA sequences of organisms with similar morphology, especially those with heteropolar tapering filaments. Phyloge...
متن کاملConvergent evolution of polysaccharide debranching defines a common mechanism for starch accumulation in cyanobacteria and plants.
Starch, unlike hydrosoluble glycogen particles, aggregates into insoluble, semicrystalline granules. In photosynthetic eukaryotes, the transition to starch accumulation occurred after plastid endosymbiosis from a preexisting cytosolic host glycogen metabolism network. This involved the recruitment of a debranching enzyme of chlamydial pathogen origin. The latter is thought to be responsible for...
متن کاملCyanobacteria of the Genus Prochlorothrix†
Green cyanobacteria differ from the blue-green cyanobacteria by the possession of a chlorophyll-containing light-harvesting antenna. Three genera of the green cyanobacteria namely Acaryochloris, Prochlorococcus, and Prochloron are unicellular and inhabit marine environments. Prochlorococcus marinus attracts most attention due to its prominent role in marine primary productivity. The fourth genu...
متن کاملLight-dependent attenuation of phycoerythrin gene expression reveals convergent evolution of green light sensing in cyanobacteria.
The colorful process of chromatic acclimation allows many cyanobacteria to change their pigmentation in response to ambient light color changes. In red light, cells produce red-absorbing phycocyanin (PC), whereas in green light, green-absorbing phycoerythrin (PE) is made. Controlling these pigment levels increases fitness by optimizing photosynthetic activity in different light color environmen...
متن کاملInvasion of Nostocales (cyanobacteria) to Subtropical and Temperate Freshwater Lakes – Physiological, Regional, and Global Driving Forces
Similar to the increased number of studies on invasive plants and animals in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, many reports were recently published on the invasion of Nostocales (cyanobacteria) to freshwater environments worldwide. Invasion and proliferation of Nostocales in new habitats have the potential to significantly alter the structure of the native community and to modify ecosystem fu...
