    Under these conditions, clumping can be beneficial to cyanobacteria if it stimulates the retention of carbon and the assimilation of inorganic carbon by cyanobacteria within clumps. This effect appears to promote the accumulation of particulate organic carbon (cells, sheaths and heterotrophic organisms) in clumps.

  3. Cyanobacterial morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanobacterial_morphology

    Cyanobacterial cell division and cell growth mutant phenotypes in Synechocystis, Synechococcus, and Anabaena.Stars indicate gene essentiality in the respective organism. While one gene can be essential in one cyanobacterial organism/morphotype, it does not necessarily mean it is essential in all other cyanobacteria.

  4. Photoautotroph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoautotroph

    There are multiple hypotheses for how oxygenic photosynthesis evolved. The loss hypothesis states that PSI and PSII were present in anoxygenic ancestor cyanobacteria from which the different branches of anoxygenic bacteria evolved. [5] The fusion hypothesis states that the photosystems merged later through horizontal gene transfer. [5]

  5. Cyanothece - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanothece

    Cyanobacteria turn energy from the sun into chemical energy through oxygenic photosynthesis. Their light-harvesting complex that captures the photons usually includes the pigments chlorophyll a and phycocyanin. A cyanobacterium's typical blue-green color is a result of the combination of these two pigments.

    All of this is the result of cyanobacteria activity. The fallen tree visible here is a stone pine (Pinus pinea), a species that has survived for many years alongside the river’s extremely acidic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphanizomenon_flos-aquae

    Cyanobacteria were the first organisms to achieve photosynthesis. [4] Chlorophyll and phycocyanine—two pigments contained in cyanobacteria—allow the vegetative cells to absorb light and transform it into nutrients. [4] The genus Aphanizomenon is defined as a cluster of eight morphospecies, including Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cyanobacteria

    Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria. It is subdivided in only one class, containing the following orders: Chroococcales, Nostocales, Oscillatoriales, Pleurocapsales, Spirulinales and Synechococcales.

  9. Synechococcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synechococcus

    Synechococcus is one of the most important components of the prokaryotic autotrophic picoplankton in the temperate to tropical oceans. The genus was first described in 1979, [5] [6] and was originally defined to include "small unicellular cyanobacteria with ovoid to cylindrical cells that reproduce by binary traverse fission in a single plane and lack sheaths".
