Photosynthetic Versatility in the Genome of Geitlerinema sp. PCC 9228 (Formerly Oscillatoria limnetica ‘Solar Lake’), a Model Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Cyanobacterium
Anoxygenic cyanobacteria that use sulfide as the electron donor for photosynthesis are a potentially influential but poorly constrained force on Earth's biogeochemistry. Their versatile metabolism may have boosted primary production and nitrogen cycling in euxinic coastal margins in the Proterozoic. In addition, they represent a biological mechanism for limiting the accumulation of atmospheric ...
متن کاملQuantum yields for oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis in the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria limnetica.
A comparison of the quantum yield spectra of the oxygenic (H(2)O as the electron donor) with the anoxygenic (H(2)S as the electron donor) photosynthesis of the cyanobacterium, Oscillatoria limnetica reveals that anoxygenic photosynthesis is driven by photosystem I only. The highest quantum yields of the latter (maximum; 0.059 CO(2) molecules/quantum of absorbed light) were obtained with wavelen...
متن کاملFurther Studies on the Induction of Nitrate Reductase by Arginine in the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Oscillatoria chalybea
In an earlier publication we reported on the role o f arginine for the development o f nitrate reductase activity in cells o f the filamentous cyanobacterium Oscillatoria chalybea (Bednarz and Schmid, Z. Naturforsch. 46c, 591 (1991)). In the present paper we present further evidence that arginine is the natural inducer for nitrate reductase activity. Thus, we show that the induc tion is regula...
متن کاملInduction of Nitrate Reductase Activity by Arginine in the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Oscillatoria chalybea
In Oscillatoria chalybea, as in other cyanobacteria, nitrate reduction depends directly on photosynthetic activity. Hence, nitrate reduction occurs only in the light and appears inhibited when photosynthesis is inhibited by the herbicide DCM U. Growth o f Oscillatoria cells is pos sible on a variety o f exogenous nitrogen sources in the medium and appears largely independ ent on the type of n...
متن کاملCyanobacterial sulfide-quinone reductase: cloning and heterologous expression.
The gene encoding sulfide-quinone reductase (SQR; E.C.1.8.5.'), the enzyme catalyzing the first step of anoxygenic photosynthesis in the filamentous cyanobacterium Oscillatoria limnetica, was cloned by use of amino acid sequences of tryptic peptides as well as sequences conserved in the Rhodobacter capsulatus SQR and in an open reading frame found in the genome of Aquifex aeolicus. SQR activity...
