Genome Sequence of the Thermophilic Cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus sp. Strain NK55a
نویسندگان
چکیده
The genome of the unicellular cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus sp. strain NK55a, isolated from the Nakabusa hot spring, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, comprises a single, circular, 2.5-Mb chromosome. The genome is predicted to contain 2,358 protein-encoding genes, including genes for all typical cyanobacterial photosynthetic and metabolic functions. No genes encoding hydrogenases or nitrogenase were identified.

Comparative analysis to identify determinants of changing life style in Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1, a thermophilic cyanobacterium.
A comparative genomics analysis among all forty whole genome sequences available for cyanobacteria (3 thermophiles- Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1, Synechococcus sp. JA-2-3B'a (2-13), Synechococcus sp. JA-3-3Ab and 37 mesophiles) was performed to identify genomic and proteomic factors responsible for the behaviour of T. elongatus BP-1, a thermophilic unicellular cyanobacterium with optimum ...

The entire genome of a thermophilic unicellular cyanobacterium, Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1, was sequenced. The genome consisted of a circular chromosome 2,593,857 bp long, and no plasmid was detected. A total of 2475 potential protein-encoding genes, one set of rRNA genes, 42 tRNA genes representing 42 tRNA species and 4 genes for small structural RNAs were assigned to the chromosome by...

متن کاملNitrogen Fixation Genes and Nitrogenase Activity of the Non-Heterocystous Cyanobacterium Thermoleptolyngbya sp. O-77
Cyanobacteria are widely distributed in marine, aquatic, and terrestrial ecosystems, and play an important role in the global nitrogen cycle. In the present study, we examined the genome sequence of the thermophilic non-heterocystous N2-fixing cyanobacterium, Thermoleptolyngbya sp. O-77 (formerly known as Leptolyngbya sp. O-77) and characterized its nitrogenase activity. The genome of this cyan...
