Cyanobacterial pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex E1 (PDHc E1) is a potential target enzyme for finding inhibitors to control harmful cyanobacterial blooms. In this study, a series of novel triazole thiamin diphosphate (ThDP) analogs were designed and synthesized by modifying the substituent group of triazole ring and optimizing triazole-benzene linker as potential cyanobacterial PDHc E1 (Cy-PDHc E1) inhibitors. Their inhibitory activities against Cy-PDHc E1 in vitro and algicide activities in vivo were further examined. Most of these compounds exhibited prominent inhibitory activities against Cy-PDHc E1 (IC 1.48-4.48 μM) and good algicide activities against Synechocystis PCC6803 (EC 0.84-2.44 µM) and Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB905 (EC 0.74-1.77 µM). Especially, compound 8d showed not only the highest inhibitory activity against Cy-PDHc E1 (IC 1.48 μM), but also the most powerful inhibitory selectivity between Cy-PDHc E1 (inhibitory rate 98.90%) and porcine PDHc E1 (inhibitory rate only 9.54%). Furthermore, the potential interaction between compound 8d and Cy-PDHc E1 was analyzed by a molecular docking method and site-directed mutagenesis and enzymatic analysis and fluorescence spectral analysis. These results indicated that compound 8d could be used as a hit compound for further optimization and might have potential to be developed as a new algicide.

Cyanobacteria are promising biological chassis to produce biochemicals such as carboxylic acids and their derivatives from CO. In this manuscript, we reflected on cyanobacterial acetyl-CoA pool and TCA cycle as an important source of precursor molecules for the biosynthesis of carboxylic acids such as 3-hydroxypropionate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, succinate, malate, fumarate and free fatty acids, each of which is an important platform chemical for bioeconomy. We further highlighted specific features of the cyanobacterial TCA cycle, how it differs in structure and function from widely described TCA cycles of heterotrophic model organisms, and methods to make it more suitable for the production of carboxylic acids from CO.

Article Synopsis
- A novel co-culture system using a cyanobacterial strain (KC0110) was developed to support mammalian muscle cells in high-density cultures, addressing common issues like cell damage from waste accumulation.
- The co-culture led to a significant reduction in harmful byproducts like ammonium and lactate while increasing beneficial compounds such as pyruvate and amino acids.
- This research highlights a "symbiotic circular system" where metabolites are exchanged between the cyanobacteria and mammalian cells, improving cell viability and reducing damage in concentrated cultures.

Hydrogen peroxide is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) naturally occurring at low levels in aquatic environments and production varies widely across different ecosystems. Oxygenic photosynthesis generates hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct, of which some portion can be released to ambient water. However, few studies have examined hydrogen peroxide dynamics in relation to cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs).

Preliminary biochemical analyses, in terms of total chlorophyll, total proteins, and IAA were highest at 14 days after inoculation (DAI). In 20-25% higher values of reducing sugars, than at both 14 and 21 DAI were recorded.
