The use of cyanobacteria as soil conditioners has been studied intermittently for many
decades. Some of the documented direct effects of cyanobacterial inoculation are related to …

Plastic is a broad name given to different polymers with high molecular weight that impact
wildlife. Their fragmentation leads to a continuum of debris sizes (meso to microplastics) …

Recent advances in synthetic biology and an emerging algal biotechnology market have
spurred a prolific increase in the availability of molecular tools for cyanobacterial research …

Abstract Background The marine dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium, is a well-known
photosynthetic partner for coral and other diverse, non-photosynthetic hosts in subtropical …

A total of 48 strains of thin, filamentous cyanobacteria in the Synechococcales were studed
by sequencing 16S rRNA, rpoC1, and rbcLX gene fragments. A subset of these were …

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria that form a fundamental part of soil biocrusts,
enhance soil function and structure, and can promote plant growth. We assessed the …

The existence of microbial activity hotspots in temperate regions of Earth is driven by soil
heterogeneities, especially the temporal and spatial availability of nutrients. Here we …

Bullicame and other worldwide springs, such as those in Yellowstone National Park, are
classified as one of the still active travertine depositing hot springs (Fouke, 2011). In these …

Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of Gram-negative prokaryotes that perform oxygenic
photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria have been used for research on photosynthesis and have …

Unraveling how long life can persist under extreme dryness and what kind of environmental
extremes can be faced by dried microorganisms is relevant to understand Mars habitability …
