Marine benthic cyanobacteria are widely known as a source of toxic and potentially useful compounds.These microorganisms have been studied from many Caribbean locations, which recently include locations in the Colombian Caribbean Sea. In the present study, six lipopeptides named almiramides D to H, together with the known almiramide B are identified from a mat characterized as Oscillatoria nigroviridis collected at the Island of Providence (Colombia, S.W. Caribbean Sea). The most abundant compounds, almiramides B and D were characterized by NMR and HRESIMS, while the structures of the minor compounds almiramides E to H were proposed by the analysis of their HRESIMS and MS2 spectra. Almiramides B and D were tested against six human cell lines including a gingival fibroblast cell line and five human tumor cell lines (A549, MDA-MB231, MCF-7, HeLa and PC3) showing a strong but not selective toxicity.

Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are implicated in the biosynthesis of pro- and anti-inflammatory lipid mediators involved in immune cell signaling, most of which catalyze peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids by distinct regio- and stereoselectivity. Current reports suggested that conserved amino acid, Gly in R-LOXs and Ala in S-LOXs, in the catalytic domain play an important role in determining the position as well as the stereochemistry of the functional group. Recently, we have confirmed that the catalytic specificity of cyanobacterial lipoxygenase, named Osc-LOX, with alanine at 296 was 13S-type toward linoleic acid, and producing a 17S- hydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

We investigated the functions of two cyanobacterial HemY protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO) genes with in vitro and in vivo assays and evaluated their applicability as resistance traits to PPO-inhibiting herbicides. We isolated HemY-type protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO) genes from cyanobacteria, OnPPO gene from Oscillatoria nigro-viridis PCC7112 and HaPPO gene from Halothece sp. PCC7418.

The filamentous Cyanobacterium Arthrospira is commercially produced and is a functional, high-value, health food. We identified 5 low temperature and low light intensity tolerant strains of Arthrospira sp. (GMPA1, GMPA7, GMPB1, GMPC1, and GMPC3) using ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis and low temperature screening.

Parallel chemical and phylogenetic investigation of a marine cyanobacterium from Panama led to the isolation of two new PKS-NRPS-derived compounds, viridamides A and B. Their structures were determined by NMR and mass spectroscopic methods, and the absolute configurations assigned by Marfey's method and chiral HPLC analysis. In addition to six standard, N-methylated amino and hydroxy acids, these metabolites contained the structurally novel 5-methoxydec-9-ynoic acid moiety and an unusual proline methyl ester terminus.
