Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified a new photoreceptor in cyanobacteria with a modification in part of its structure which makes it sensitive to green/teal light. The ...

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a method of creating biogenic construction materials based on cyanobacteria. The bacteria multiply in a nutrient solution, driven by photosynthesis. When ...

An example of a Cyanobacteria bloom in a NH pond. To everything there is a season and this is the season when we go swimming and we spend a lot of time talking about Cyanobacteria. So what is it, ...

Cyanobacterial populations, primitive aquatic microorganisms, are frequently-encountered in water bodies especially in summer. Their numbers have increased in recent decades and scientists suspect ...

Researchers show how the catalytic activity of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, can be significantly increased. This brings biotechnological and thus eco-friendly application a big step ...

Cyanobacteria are single-celled microbes that can photosynthesize, and they helped generate Earth's atmosphere to make complex life possible. Cyanobacteria still help to maintain life on Earth, and ...

The Iberian Pyrite Belt in southwestern Spain looks looks like a movie set for an alien world. Rusty lakes punctuate the iron-rich landscape. The Rio Tinto, named for its vibrant red coloration, seems ...

(left) Scientists have discovered a new CBCR binding PVB (pink) in a family of photoreceptors usually binding PCB (blue). (right) The new CBCR binding PVB (pink) can switch between two differently ...
