Download or read book Handbook of Cyanobacteria written by T. A. Sarma and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook acquaints readers with the exciting developments in various areas of cyanobacterial research in the backdrop of the publication of complete genome sequence of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 in 1996. It begins with a summary of the current knowledge on the taxonomy, phylogeny and evolution of cyanobacteria followed by the sequenced genomes, differentiation of akinetes and heterocyst. The book considers mechanisms of cellular movements (gliding, swimming and twitching motions) exhibited by various cyanobacteria in order to adjust to their environmental niches and the operation of the circadian rhythms. It covers cyanobacterial symbiosis, cyanophages and cyanobacterial toxins, followed by a discussion on stress responses (salinity, temperature, desiccation and oxidation). A comprehensive account on the developments in all these spheres has been presented in a lucid style with the required background information, molecular techniques employed and models proposed. This handbook constitutes the first such book written by a single author at a level and depth for graduate and research students in botany and microbiology.

Book Synopsis Stress Biology of Cyanobacteria by : Ashish Kumar Srivastava
Download or read book Stress Biology of Cyanobacteria written by Ashish Kumar Srivastava and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant component of many different ecosystems, cyanobacteria occupy almost every niche of the earth, including fresh and salt waters, rice fields, hot springs, arid deserts, and polar regions. Cyanobacteria, along with algae, produce nearly half the global oxygen, making assessment of their ecophysiologies important for understanding climate impacts and potential remediation. Stress Biology of Cyanobacteria: Molecular Mechanisms to Cellular Responses is a compilation of holistic responses of cyanobacteria, ranging from ecological and physiological to the modern aspects of their molecular biology, genomics, and biochemistry. Covering almost every aspect of cyanobacterial stress biology, this book is divided into two parts: Bioenergetics and Molecular Mechanisms of Stress Tolerance and Cellular Responses and Ecophysiology. The first few chapters focus on the molecular bioenergetics of photosynthesis and respiration in cyanobacteria, and provide a clear perspective on different stress tolerance mechanisms. Part I also covers the effect of specific stresses—including heavy metal, high and low temperature, salt, osmotic, and UV-B stress—on a wide range of vital physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes of cyanobacteria. Part II describes mechanisms of symbiosis, stress-induced bioproducts, and the role of environmental factors on nitrogen fixation, which along with photosynthesis is a major contributor to the current geochemical status of the planet. The text also covers mutation and cyanobacterial adaptation, and the most widely studied cyanotoxin, microcystin, which has effects on both human and animal health. With contributions from experts around the world, representing the global importance of cyanobacteria, this book provides a broad compilation of research that deals with cyanobacterial stress responses in both controlled laboratory conditions as well as in their natural environment.
Book Synopsis Comparative Genomics and Genome Mining Insights Into Natural Product Rich Marine Cyanobacteria by : Tiago Ferreira Leao
Download or read book Comparative Genomics and Genome Mining Insights Into Natural Product Rich Marine Cyanobacteria written by Tiago Ferreira Leao and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous advantages of systematic genomics have been leveraged in other areas, such as transcriptomics, proteomics and human microbiome studies, but it has yet to be effective in stimulating the increased discovery of natural products (secondary metabolites). Since the discovery of the first microbial genome (2002), the surprisingly high percentage of cryptic biosynthetic pathways per genome (genes not connected to any known secondary metabolite, aka natural product) has continued as a consistent theme. Cyanobacteria from benthic environments are prolific producers of natural products but genomes from these organisms remain scarce in public repositories. Hence, this dissertation focused on sequencing and performing genomic analysis in prolific cyanobacteria collected from several tropical benthic ecosystems around the planet. First, we analyzed the relationship between a cyanobacterium host and its associated heterotrophic microbiome. By evaluation the non-axenic culture of Moorea producens JHB, we characterized a novel uncultured acidobacteria heterotroph living with the cyanobacterial host. This heterotroph was only 85% similar to the closest cultured representative, it presented a large number of genes encoding for transcriptional regulators and it was auxotrophic for several proteogenic amino acids. Next, we expanded our genome comparison by deeper analyzing 4 Moorea genomes. Our genome comparison revealed that Moorea, already a prolific producer of secondary metabolites, harbored an even richer metabolic potential, four times above the cyanobacterial average. We observed that Moorea conserved its primary metabolism while evolved an intricate secondary metabolism machinery, accounting for 20% of their genomic content. These findings were very promising for future genome mining efforts in those four strains. Thereby, we further expanded our sequencing efforts by sampling 165 metagenomes of filamentous marine cyanobacteria collected from around the globe. Our new metagenomic pipeline was able to generated 85 high-quality genomes, including 32 Moorea and 29 Okeania strains. Our genome comparison highlighted that these two genera are among the most diverse and prolific producers of natural products in our dataset (comparing pairwise 506 cyanobacterial genomes, 425 from the NCBI database). Gene networking revealed the abundance of unique (only encountered in a single strain) and "extended families" (found in several strains). Using genomes with paired mass spectrometry data, we correlated the distribution of gene families with the distribution of metabolic families and automatically annotated a new dehydromicrosclerodermin B homologue.

Book Synopsis Ecology of Cyanobacteria II by : Brian A. Whitton
Download or read book Ecology of Cyanobacteria II written by Brian A. Whitton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyanobacteria have existed for 3.5 billion years, yet they are still the most important photosynthetic organisms on the planet for cycling carbon and nitrogen. The ecosystems where they have key roles range from the warmer oceans to many Antarctic sites. They also include dense nuisance growths in nutrient-rich lakes and nitrogen-fixers which aid the fertility of rice-fields and many soils, especially the biological soil crusts of arid regions. Molecular biology has in recent years provided major advances in our understanding of cyanobacterial ecology. Perhaps for more than any other group of organisms, it is possible to see how the ecology, physiology, biochemistry, ultrastructure and molecular biology interact. This all helps to deal with practical problems such as the control of nuisance blooms and the use of cyanobacterial inocula to manage semi-desert soils. Large-scale culture of several organisms, especially "Spirulina" (Arthrospira), for health food and specialist products is increasingly being expanded for a much wider range of uses. In view of their probable contribution to past oil deposits, much attention is currently focused on their potential as a source of biofuel. Please visit http://extras.springer.com/ to view Extra Materials belonging to this volume. This book complements the highly successful Ecology of Cyanobacteria and integrates the discoveries of the past twelve years with the older literature.
