in this case when a nucleated cell engulfed a photosynthetic prokaryote. Indeed, chloroplasts resemble modern cyanobacteria, which remain similar to the cyanobacteria of 3 million years ago.

Photosynthetic cells are quite diverse and include cells found in green plants, phytoplankton, and cyanobacteria. During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the ...

Absorption spectra of cyanobacteria cells cultured under yellow-green light or under red light. The increase in the amount of PEC was only seen in the cells cultured in yellow-green light.

"Danish agriculture could, in principle, produce cyanobacteria and other microalgae, just as they produce dairy products ...

Scientists have uncovered how cyanobacteria—Earth's first photosynthetic organisms—self-organize into intricate living mats, offering insights into aquatic ecosystems and potential inspiration ...

According to a study published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Chonkus was discovered in waters enriched with ...

To try to understand how harmful algal blooms might evolve in Lake Erie in a warming climate, University of Michigan ...

By engineering photosynthetic cyanobacteria to live symbiotically inside yeast cells, the bacteria-yeast hybrids can produce important hydrocarbons, paving new biotechnical pathways to non ...

We use biophotonics and soft matter approaches to quantitatively explore interactions of cells with the extracellular polymeric matrix in the biofilms. Our group utilizes holographic laser trapping to ...

Not only was cyanobacteria key for Earth’s oxygen levels, but they also played a role in the evolution of plants. Plant cells’ chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis ...
