While relentless bright light brings many forms of cyanobacteria to their knees -- figuratively, of course -- Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 does the opposite, thriving and growing at a rate that far ...

The biofuel sector could get a boost, with researchers at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) here developing a method to improve the growth rate and sugar ...

Marine Synechococcus, a globally important group of cyanobacteria, thrives in various light niches in part due to its varied photosynthetic light-harvesting pigments. Many Synechococcus strains use a ...

Scientists have succeeded in synthesizing the natural pigment astaxanthin using the fast-growing marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC7002. It is hoped that this development could be utilized to ...

Summary: The objective of this project is to engineer living materials to serve both biological and structural functions. Living Building Materials (LBMs) were created by inoculating an inert ...

The high-concentration CO2-requiring mutant N5 of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 was obtained by the insertion of a kanamycinresistant gene at the EcoRI site, 12.4 kb upstream of rbc. The mutant is unable ...
