Distribution of thioredoxins in Cyanobacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presence of thioredoxin was demonstrated in 20 strains of cyanobacteria as well as in one phototrophic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas sulfidophila and in Thiobacillus denitrificans. Thioredoxin activity was not found in Cyanophora paradoxa and in Porphyridium cruentum using the thioredoxin-dependent PAPS-sulfotransferase activity from Synechococcus 6301 as assay system.

Contrasting evolutionary histories of chloroplast thioredoxins f and m.
Fourteen thioredoxin sequences were used to construct a minimal phylogenetic tree by using parsimony. The bacterial thioredoxins clustered into three groups: one containing the photosynthetic purple bacteria, Escherichia and Corynebacterium; a second containing the photosynthetic green bacterium, Chlorobium; and a third containing cyanobacteria. These groupings are similar to those generated fr...
متن کاملA comprehensive analysis of the peroxiredoxin reduction system in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 reveals that all five peroxiredoxins are thioredoxin dependent.
Cyanobacteria perform oxygenic photosynthesis, which gives rise to the continuous production of reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide anion radicals and hydrogen peroxide, particularly under unfavorable growth conditions. Peroxiredoxins, which are present in both chloroplasts and cyanobacteria, constitute a class of thiol-dependent peroxidases capable of reducing hydrogen peroxide as well...

Background: Cyanobacteria have a worldwide distribution in the terrestrial habitats, occurring predominantly on the surface of the soils, stones, rocks, and trees, practically in moist, neutral or alkaline aeries. The unique natural and bioactive compounds from cyanobacteria with various biological activities and an extensive range of chemical classes have a significant capabil...

The algal flora of five stations from paddy-fields of Golestan Province was investigated between October 2006 and September 2007. Eight filamentous heterocystous Nostocacean are recorded here for the first time from paddy fields of iran: Cylindrospermum licheniforme, Cylindrospermum stangnale, Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, Calothrix ghosei, Gloeotrichia longiarticulata, Aulosira implexa var. ...
متن کاملCylindrospermum voukii and Wollea saccata, new records for algal flora of Iran
Cyanobacteria represent a small taxonomic group of photosynthetic prokaryotes which some of them are capable of N2 fixation and also possess a tremendous potential for producing a wide range of secondary metabolites. It has been suggested that, some of these microorganisms, especially heterocystous cyanobacteria, assist higher plant growth by supplying growth stimulating substances. During a fl...
