Recombinant plasmids, series pIAB and pIAH, have been constructed by insertion of BamHI or HindIII chromosomal fragments from Anacystis nidulans R2 into the tet gene of plasmid pACYC184. Plasmids pIAB and pIAH are stably maintained in Escherichia coli cells and transfer the CmR marker in transformation of Anacystis nidulans. Blot hybridization technique has shown the formation of CmR clones in transformation to result from integration of plasmid pACYC184 with the chromosome of cyanobacterium.

Background: Artificial microbial consortia composed of heterotrophic and photoautotrophic organisms represent a unique strategy for converting light energy and carbon dioxide into high-value bioproducts. Currently, the types of desired bioproducts are still limited, and microbial fitness benefit rendered by paired partner generally needs to be intensified. Exploring novel artificial microbial consortia at a laboratory scale is an essential step towards addressing this unmet need.

Synechococcus elongatus, formerly known as Anacystis nidulans, is a representative species of cyanobacteria. It is also a model organism for the study of photoreactivation, which can be fully photoreactivated even after receiving high UV doses. However, for a long time, only one photolyase was found in S.

Following the discovery of cryptochrome-DASH (CRYD) as a new type of blue-light receptor cryptochrome, theoretical and experimental findings on CRYD have been reported. Early studies identified CRYD as highly homologous to the DNA repair enzyme photolyases (PLs), suggesting the involvement of CRYD in DNA repair. However, an experimental study reported that CRYD does not exhibit DNA repair activity .

This perspective provides a historical account of the isolation and nomenclature of the cyanobacterial strains currently known as . The story focuses on an isolate from the San Francisco Bay area of California (Pasteur Culture Collection PCC 7942) that has, for decades, been the genetic model for this species, and its close relative isolated from Waller Creek in Texas (PCC 6301, also known as the University of Texas at Austin Culture Collection of Algae UTEX 625). Until recently, these strains have been the only representatives of the species.

Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of photosynthetic Gram-negative bacteria that produce an array of secondary compounds with selective bioactivity against a broad spectrum of organisms and cell lines. In this study, 29 strains isolated from freshwaters in Greece were classified using a polyphasic approach and assigned to Chroococcales, Synechococcales, and Nostocales, representing 11 genera and 17 taxa. There were good agreements between 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA)--internal genetic spacer (IGS) characterization and morphological features, except for the - group which appears intermixed and needs further elucidation.
