The paper reports mutations in cyanobacteria that lead to loss of photosynthetic growth and promote dark-heterotrophic growth through a single gene mutation.

This paper identifies a nitrogenase-like enzyme (IsrBHDK) involved in the anaerobic assimilation of isethionate in Rhodobacter capsulatus, revealing a new pathway in the sulfur cycle.

This study characterizes extracellular vesicles (EVs) from cyanobacteria, showing they contain chlorophyll intermediates and may help manage their accumulation.
