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, and KaiC ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, bloom at Killarney Beach, just south of Leddy Beach, in Burlington on July 13, 2021. File photo courtesy of Mindy Morales This week’s high ...
