Membrane Dynamics in Phototrophic Bacteria.
(2020-09-08)
Photosynthetic membranes are typically densely packed with proteins, and this is crucial for their function in efficient trapping of light energy. Despite being crowded with protein, the membranes are fluid systems in which ...
The Role of the Cyanobacterial Type IV Pilus Machinery in Finding and Maintaining a Favourable Environment.
(MDPI, 2020-10-23)
Type IV pili (T4P) are proteinaceous filaments found on the cell surface of many prokaryotic organisms and convey twitching motility through their extension/retraction cycles, moving cells across surfaces. In cyanobacteria, ...
Coexistence of Communicating and Noncommunicating Cells in the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Anabaena.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021-01-13)
In filamentous heterocyst-forming (N2-fixing) cyanobacteria, septal junctions join adjacent cells, mediating intercellular communication, and are thought to traverse the septal peptidoglycan through nanopores. Fluorescence ...
