商品簡介
Useful for researchers in cyanobacteria, bacterial photosynthesis, bacterial nitrogen fixation and symbiosis, these 16 papers describe the photosynthetic ancestors of chloroplasts in eukaryotes such as algae and plants, organisms thought to be the ancient colonizers of the earth. Topics include the role of cyanobacteria in earth history, cyanobacterial evolution from comparative genetics, gene transfer to cyanobacteria in the lab and in nature, molecular ecology and environmental genomics of cyanobacteria, comparative genomics of marine cyanobacteria and phages, stress responses in Synechocystis, bioactive compounds produced by cyanobacteria, the cyanobacterial circadian clock and the KaiC phosphorylation cycle, molecular structure of the photosynthetic apparatus, membrane systems, thylakoid membranes, carbon acquisition, nitrogen assimilation, responses to absences of fixed nitrogen, cyanobiological nitrogen fixing in the ocean and cyanobacterial-plant symbiosis.
