cyanobacteria

Ancient Earth Had Green Oceans

Scientists found evidence that cyanobacteria, often called blue-green algae, an important bacteria in the evolutionary process, flourished in green seas.

Engineering Cyanobacteria For Higher Yields

Scientists have engineered a cyanobacteria mutant that can produce higher amounts of glucosylglycerol.

Photosynthetic Mystery Solved: Galactolipids Not Necessary

Surprising new research shows that photosynthesis in cyanobacteria does not require the galactolipids found abundantly in the photosynthetic membrane.

Blue Light Changes Bacterial Lifestyle

The photoreceptor SesA enables cyanobacteria sense blue light and produce cellulose to avoid light damage.
