The paper shows that BrtB in Synechocystis captures free fatty acids at the cell envelope without activation, generating B-FAs and suggesting a new pathway for FFA incorporation.

The paper identifies conserved bacterial genes responsible for thallusin biosynthesis, a morphogen that influences algal development across marine and terrestrial environments.

This study engineered cyanobacteria to produce betaxanthin pigments using a heterologous pathway, achieving a final titer of 15.3 mg L-1 through metabolic and cultivation optimizations.

This study examines the interactions between Nostoc and Agrobacterium under carbon limitation, revealing competition for iron and mutualistic dependency for carbon.

EXCRETE improves exoproteome identification in cyanobacteria, revealing 85% of predicted secreted proteins and highlighting key functions in cell envelope maintenance and nutrient acquisition.

This study reports the formation of nanofilaments in cyanobacteria using a modified bacterial microcompartment protein, demonstrating potential for organizing heterologous pathways in these organisms.
