There is some evidence to suggest that the increase in atmospheric oxygen from cyanobacterial photosynthesis may have contributed to the formation of the granite "basement" for the continents. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Although there was little difference in soil moisture and plant water relations, and water availability did not constrain the adult vascular plants, surface water flow in snow-flush areas (accumulations of snow that provide water during summer) allowed greater development of cyanobacterial soil crusts, prolonged their nitrogen fixing activity, and resulted in greater soil nitrogen concentrations [89]. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The arctic periglacial environment represents a unique mosaic of unstable habitats (gradation between terrestrial and shallow wetland environments) where large variations in cyanobacterial and algal diversity, productivity, and life strategy exist [190]. ❋ Unknown (2009)
By analyzing DNA sequences contained in the plastid of the thecate amoeba Paulinella, researchers have shown that it is a recent endosymbiont whose genome features are virtually unchanged from those of its cyanobacterial progenitor. ❋ Unknown (2006)
A far-red light was first applied to the dark-adapted cyanobacterial cultures to fully oxidize PSI, which was followed by a series of saturation flashes to determine the S1 level. ❋ Qiang Wang Et Al. (2010)
Building on long term research performed at Ames on microbial mats, Lee optimized the growth of specific cyanobacterial species to identify the environmental controls on the seasonal occurrence of different communities. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Only a few filamentous, differentiated cyanobacterial species, with genome sizes over 5 Mb, have been sequenced. ❋ PLoS ONE (2010)
Further comparisons to all available cyanobacterial genomes covering almost the entire evolutionary branch revealed a common minimal gene set for each of these cyanobacterial traits. ❋ PLoS ONE (2010)
While the cyanobacterial PSP toxin genes could not be found among the A. minutum sequences, we found 192 genes to be differentially expressed between toxic and non-toxic strains. ❋ Unknown (2010)
While the cyanobacterial PSP toxin gene cluster has recently been characterized, the genetic background of dinoflagellate PSP toxin production remains elusive. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Our work characterizes a novel cyanobacterial potassium channel and indicates the molecular nature of the first higher plant thylakoid cation channel, opening the way to functional studies. ❋ Coturnix [email protected] (2010)

The fact that the CS-505 and D9 genomes are small and streamlined compared to those of other filamentous cyanobacterial species and the lack of the ability for heterocyst formation in strain D9 allowed us to define a core set of genes responsible for each trait in filamentous species. ❋ PLoS ONE (2010)

Based on this study and on the lack of identified PSP synthesis genes in the two existent Alexandrium tamarense EST libraries we put forward the hypothesis that the dinoflagellate PSP toxin genes might be more different from their cyanobacterial counterparts than it would be expected in the case of a recent gene transfer. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Regardless of the ambiguity in functions, IsiA is important for the survival of cyanobacterial cells under HL conditions as reported ❋ Qiang Wang Et Al. (2010)
This research provides an explanation for the significant rise in massive cyanobacterial bloom events worldwide during the last decade despite attempts of water management authorities to reduce the inflow of nutrients, especially phosphate, entering from watersheds. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In general, the increasing occurrence of toxic cyanobacterial (blue-green algae) blooms in freshwater bodies is a matter of growing international concern due to their detrimental impact on drinking water quality and, in extreme cases, causing death to humans, livestock and wild animals. ❋ Unknown (2010)
