The Molecular Biology of Cyanobacteria
TL;DR: This work focuses on the study of the structure and function of the Photosystem II Reaction Center in Cyanobacteria, which consists of Chloroplast Origins and Evolution, and its role in the Evolution of the Universal Enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prokaryotic photosynthesis and phototrophy illuminated
TL;DR: Examples that reflect recent advances in phototroph biology as a result of insights from genome and metagenome sequencing are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unexpected diversity and complexity of the Guerrero Negro hypersaline microbial mat.
Ruth E. Ley,J. Kirk Harris,Joshua Wilcox,John R. Spear,Scott R. Miller,Brad M. Bebout,Julia A. Maresca,Donald A. Bryant,Mitchell L. Sogin,Norman R. Pace +9 more
TL;DR: The biological complexity of the mat far exceeds that observed in other polysaccharide-rich microbial ecosystems, such as the human and mouse distal guts, and suggests that positive feedbacks exist between chemical complexity and biological diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complete genome sequence of Chlorobium tepidum TLS, a photosynthetic, anaerobic, green-sulfur bacterium.

TL;DR: Phylogenomic analysis reveals likely duplications of genes involved in biosynthetic pathways for photosynthesis and the metabolism of sulfur and nitrogen as well as strong similarities between metabolic processes in C. tepidum and many Archaeal species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candidatus Chloracidobacterium thermophilum: an aerobic phototrophic Acidobacterium.
Donald A. Bryant,Amaya M. Garcia Costas,Julia A. Maresca,Aline Gomez Maqueo Chew,Christian G. Klatt,Mary M. Bateson,Luke J. Tallon,Jessica B. Hostetler,William C. Nelson,John F. Heidelberg,David M. Ward +10 more
TL;DR: “Candidatus Chloracidobacterium thermophilum” is a BChl-producing member of the poorly characterized phylum Acidobacteria, and a highly enriched culture of this bacterium grew photoheterotrophically, synthesized BChls a and c under oxic conditions, and had chlorosomes and type 1 reaction centers.
