Identification of sesquiterpene synthases from Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102 and Nostoc sp. strain PCC 7120.

Cyanobacteria are a rich source of natural products and are known to produce terpenoids. These bacteria are the major source of the musty-smelling terpenes geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol, which are found in many natural water supplies; however, no terpene synthases have been characterized from these organisms to date. Here, we describe the characterization of three sesquiterpene synthases ident...

Healthy efficacy of Nostoc commune Vaucher

Nostoc commune Vaucher, a macroscopic cyanobacterium, has long been appreciated as a healthy food and traditional medicine worldwide. Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that it possesses a wide range of remarkably protective physiological and pharmacological activities, largely based on animal and in vitro studies. In this review, we summarise and update evidence regarding the chemical compo...

Ecophysiology of gelatinous Nostoc colonies: unprecedented slow growth and survival in resource-poor and harsh environments.

BACKGROUND The cyanobacterial genus Nostoc includes several species forming centimetre-large gelatinous colonies in nutrient-poor freshwaters and harsh semi-terrestrial environments with extended drought or freezing. These Nostoc species have filaments with normal photosynthetic cells and N2-fixing heterocysts embedded in an extensive gelatinous matrix of polysaccharides and many other organic ...

مطالعه سیانوباکتری‌های دارای هتروسیست مزارع برنج کلات نادری واقع در شمال شرق ایران

سیانوباکتری‌های تولیدکننده هتروسیت گروه ویژه‌ای از پروکاریوت‌های فتوسنتزکننده هستند که قادرند نیتروژن اتمسفری را تثبیت کنند و در مزارع برنج به فراوانی یافت می‌شوند. هدف از این مطالعه خالص‌سازی و شناسایی سیانوباکتری‌های مزارع برنج ناحیه کلات نادری از استان خراسان رضوی است. در راستای نیل به این هدف، فلور جلبکی 4 ایستگاه واقع در این ناحیه مورد بررسی قرار گرفت و در مجموع 30 تاکسون شناسایی شد. گونه‌...
