Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria that populate widely different habitats. Accordingly, cyanobacteria exhibit a wide spectrum of lifestyles, physiologies, and morphologies and possess genome sizes and gene numbers which may vary by up to a factor of ten within the phylum. Consequently, large differences exist between individual species in the size and complexity of their regulatory networks. Several non-coding RNAs have been identified that play crucial roles in the acclimation responses of cyanobacteria to changes in the environment. Some of these regulatory RNAs are conserved throughout the cyanobacterial phylum, while others exist only in a few taxa. Here we give an overview on characterized regulatory RNAs in cyanobacteria, with a focus on regulators of photosynthesis, carbon and nitrogen metabolism. However, chances are high that these regulators represent just the tip of the iceberg.

Proteome changes during the germination and early seedling development of carnauba palm (Copernicia prunifera) under skotomorphogenic conditions.

We analyze the proteome changes during the development of the carnauba palm (Copernicia prunifera) seedlings under skotomorphogenic conditions, by separating the embryo into its two components: haustorium (HA) and cotyledonary petiole (CP) and established the descriptive and quantitative proteomes of these tissues across four developmental stages. 5205 proteins were identified in HA and 6028 in CP. These proteomes are rich in proteins known to maintain the skotomorphogenic state, and in a complete set of proteins involved in cellular respiration and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites.

Managing wastewater and using renewable energy sources are challenges in achieving Sustainable Development Goals. This study provides an overview of the factors influencing the performance of algae-based membrane bioreactors (AMBRs) for contaminant removal from wastewater and biogas. This review highlights that the performance of AMBRs in removing total phosphorus (TP) and nitrogen (N) from wastewater can reach up to 93% and 97%, depending on parameters such as pH, hydraulic retention time (HRT), and algae concentration.

Isotopic variability of the invasive blue crab Callinectes sapidus in the Gulf of Cadiz: Impacts and implications for coastal ecosystem management.

República Saharaui, 2, Puerto Real, Cadiz, 11510, Spain; Associate Research Unit "Blue Growth", Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) - Andalusian Institute of Agricultural and Fisheries Research and Training (IFAPA), Cadiz, Spain. Electronic address:

The variability in trophic position and carbon isotopic signatures can provide information about their dietary flexibility and its ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The impact of the invasive blue crab Callinectes sapidus was assessed by estimating its trophic position and isotopic niche using stable isotopes (δ³C, δ⁵N, δ³⁴S) across different invaded Atlantic coastal areas. This study, the first of its kind in the eastern Atlantic range, reveals the crab's omnivorous behavior with a wide trophic position (TP = 2-4), consistent with findings from its native range.
