This study identifies SigF1 as a sigma factor regulating biofilm-promoting genes in Synechococcus elongatus through transcriptional and secretion pathways.

This paper develops a 3D-printed biocomposite material containing engineered cyanobacteria that respond to chemical stimuli by producing functional outputs like bioremediation and inducible cell death.

The paper identifies cell specialization in Synechococcus elongatus biofilm formation, showing a subset of cells produce matrix proteins while others are assembled in the biofilm.

The paper uses transcriptomics and phenomics to identify genes involved in biofilm formation and regulation in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 and compares the effectiveness of these approaches.

This study shows that inactivation of the glycosyltransferase Ogt in Synechococcus elongatus leads to biofilm formation by impairing pilus glycosylation and function.

The paper reconstitutes a cyanobacterial circadian clock in vitro to study its control over gene expression and provides a platform for synthetic biology.

The paper shows SasA regulates circadian clock robustness in cyanobacteria by structurally mimicking KaiB to modulate protein complex assembly.

This study identifies genes required for natural competence in Synechococcus elongatus and shows that the circadian clock and darkness regulate the process.

The paper identifies genes critical for survival in light-dark cycles in cyanobacteria and shows KaiA's role in regulating a night-time metabolic program.
