Growing concerns over conventional plastic materials and their detrimental effects on the
environment have paved the way for exploring alternative sources for the production of …

Fossil fuels (crude oil, coal, and natural gas) represent the current primary source of the
world's energy supply, accounting for 87% of global energy. 1 World energy consumption is …

To avoid costly biomass recovery in photosynthetic microbial biofuel production, we
genetically modified cyanobacteria to produce and secrete fatty acids. Starting with …

The biosynthesis of glycogen or starch is one of the main strategies developed by living
organisms for the intracellular storage of carbon and energy. In phototrophic organisms …

Recent reports support the long-standing hypothesis that acetyl phosphate, a physiologically
relevant small molecule, can serve as a phosphoryl donor to a subset of two-component …

SUMMARY A survey of the already characterized and potential two-component protein
sequences that exist in the nine complete and seven partially annotated cyanobacterial …

We report on the adsorption of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and its effects on algal
photosynthesis. A logarithmic trend was established for the adsorption process using UV …

Two-component signal transduction, consisting of sensor kinases and response regulators,
is the predominant signalling mechanism in bacteria. This signalling system originated in …

Cyanobacteria have developed various response mechanisms in long evolution to sense
and adapt to external or internal changes under abiotic stresses. The signal transduction …

The hliA gene of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 is known to be
upregulated by high-intensity light through the activity of the NblS sensor kinase. In this work …
