To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a research team has studied ancient timekeeping systems. They examined the oscillation of the clock proteins KaiA, KaiB ...

are chock-full of structures that resemble those where oxygen-producing photosynthesis takes place in most modern cyanobacteria and in plants. Called thylakoid membranes, the structures are the ...

To confirm their theory, the researchers genetically engineered modern cyanobacteria to use a green-absorbing pigment called phycoerythrobilin. The modified microbes grew better under green light ...

Indeed, chloroplasts resemble modern cyanobacteria, which remain similar to the cyanobacteria of 3 million years ago. However, the evolution of photosynthesis goes back even further, to the ...

Fossilized bacteria dating to about 1.75 billion years ago preserve structures that resemble thylakoid membranes, which help modern cyanobacteria convert sunlight into oxygen. Scientists had ...

During this period, cyanobacteria began producing oxygen through oxygenic photosynthesis, a process that generates oxygen as a byproduct. However, unlike modern plants, early cyanobacteria did not ...

The resulting article, "Carotenoids from cyanobacteria modulate iNOS and inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators: Promising agents for the treatment of inflammatory conditions," has been ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — As summer approaches, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is urging residents and visitors to be vigilant about potentially toxic cyanobacteria blooms in the state's lakes ...

THIS IS WHAT A BLOOM OF CYANOBACTERIA LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN FIND IT AT BREWSTER AND CAREY BEACHES IN WOLFEBORO AND AT BEACHES IN TUFTONBORO. IF THERE ARE NATURAL PART OF EVERY LAKE ...
