Characterization of cyanate metabolism in marine Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus spp.
Cyanobacteria of the genera Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus are the most abundant photosynthetic organisms on earth, occupying a key position at the base of marine food webs. The cynS gene that encodes cyanase was identified among bacterial, fungal, and plant sequences in public databases, and the gene was particularly prevalent among cyanobacteria, including numerous Prochlorococcus and Syne...
متن کاملPhotoinactivation of Photosystem II in Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus
The marine picocyanobacteria Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus numerically dominate open ocean phytoplankton. Although evolutionarily related they are ecologically distinct, with different strategies to harvest, manage and exploit light. We grew representative strains of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus and tracked their susceptibility to photoinactivation of Photosystem II under a range of li...
متن کاملDistribution of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus in the central Adriatic Sea
Photosynthetic picoplankton, represented primarily by the genera Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, are major contributors of biomass and primary production in oligotrophic oceanic ecosystems (JOHNSON & SIEBURTH, 1979; WATERBURY et al., 1979; PARTENSKY et al., 1999a). In the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea, picophytoplankton has a great contribution to total phytoplankton biomass and production ...
متن کاملMolecular ecology of the marine cyanobacterial genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus.
Oxygenic photoautotrophs of the genera Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus contribute significantly to primary production and are now widely accepted as the most abundant members of the picophytoplankton in the world's oceans. Since they represent one of the few cultured and representative groups of marine microorganisms, study of their physiology and biochemistry has progressed rapidly since the...
متن کاملIntertwined Evolutionary Histories of Marine Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus marinus
Prochlorococcus is a genus of marine cyanobacteria characterized by small cell and genome size, an evolutionary trend toward low GC content, the possession of chlorophyll b, and the absence of phycobilisomes. Whereas many shared derived characters define Prochlorococcus as a clade, many genome-based analyses recover them as paraphyletic, with some low-light adapted Prochlorococcus spp. grouping...
