In this review, the general background is provided on cyanobacteria, including morphology,
cell membrane structure, and their photosynthesis pathway. The presence of cyanobacteria …

The evolution of obligate host-association of bacterial symbionts and pathogens remains
poorly understood. The Rickettsiales are an alphaproteobacterial order of obligate …

Picocyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus (together with Cyanobium and
Prochlorococcus) have captured the attention of microbial ecologists since their description …

Cyanophages exert important top-down controls on their cyanobacteria hosts; however,
concurrent analysis of both phage and host populations is needed to better assess phage …

Marine cyanobacteria are critical players in global nutrient cycles that crucially depend on
trace metals in metalloenzymes, including zinc for CO2 fixation and phosphorus acquisition …

Microbial mats are stratified communities often dominated by unicellular and filamentous
phototrophs within an exopolymer matrix. It is challenging to quantify the dynamic responses …

Microbial mortality impacts the structure of food webs, carbon flow, and the interactions that
create dynamic patterns of abundance across gradients in space and time in diverse …

Microbial associations and interactions drive and regulate nutrient fluxes in the ocean.
However, physical contact between cells of marine cyanobacteria has not been studied thus …

Photosynthetic microorganisms can export electrons outside their cells, a phenomenon
called exoelectrogenesis, which can be harnessed for solar energy conversion. However …

Extracellular proteins play a significant role in sha** microbial communities which, in turn,
can impact ecosystem function, human health, and biotechnological processes. Yet, for …
