Abstract Symbiodinium are the photosynthetic endosymbionts for corals and play a vital role in supplying their coral hosts with products, forming nutritional foundation high-yield reef ecosystems. Here, we determine cryo-electron microscopy structure of photosystem I (PSI) supercomplex PSI core composed 13 subunits including 2 previously unidentified subunits, PsaT PsaU, as well peridinin-Chl / c -binding light-harvesting antenna proteins (AcpPCIs). The PSI–AcpPCI exhibits distinctive...
In marine systems, the availability of inorganic phosphate can limit primary production leading to bacterial and phytoplankton utilization plethora organic forms available. Among these are phospholipids that form lipid bilayer all cells as well released extracellular vesicles. However, information on phospholipid degradation is almost nonexistent despite their relevance for biogeochemical cycling. Here, we identify complete catabolic pathways common headgroups phosphocholine (PC)...
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which was detected at nanomolar concentrations in surface seawaters, is an important carbon, nitrogen and/or energy source for marine bacteria. It can be metabolized by bacteria into volatile methylated amines, the second largest of after N2 gas oceans. The SAR11 are most abundant oligotrophic plankton oceans, represents approximately 30% bacterial cells waters. Genomic analysis suggested that possess ATP-binding cassette transporter TmoXWV may responsible...
ABSTRACT Catabolism of algal polysaccharides by marine bacteria is a significant process carbon cycling. β1,3/1,4 - Mixed-linkage xylan (MLX) class in the ocean, widely present cell walls red algae. However, catabolic mechanism MLX remains elusive. Recently, we found that Bacteroidetes strain, Polaribacter sp. Q13, specialist degrading MLX, which secretes novel MLX-specific xylanase. Here, specialization strain Q13 to was studied multiomics and biochemical analyses. Strain catabolizes with...
