Amid growing environmental concerns and the imperative for sustainable agricultural practices, this study examines potential of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria as biofertilizers, particularly in cotton cultivation. The reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers (SNFs), prevalent modern agriculture, poses significant challenges, including greenhouse gas emissions water system contamination. This research aims to shift paradigm by exploring capacity a natural alternative. Utilizing advanced...
The Doñana wetlands comprise an emblematic Mediterranean landscape protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some parts of these have been transformed into intensive rice cultivation areas, which are currently the most productive rice-growing areas in Europe. We examined bacterial communities domesticated soils they key for plant health and productivity strong influence on biochemical cycles. To identify bacteria, we used metabarcoding analysis coupled with metabolic predictions...
Abstract While symbiotic plant-cyanobacteria interactions hold significant potential for revolutionizing agricultural practices by reducing the application of artificial nitrogen fertilizers, genetic underpinnings interaction between plant host and cyanobiont remain poorly understood. In particular, molecular mechanisms through which plants induce formation motile cyanobacterial filaments (hormogonia), essential colonization initiation symbiosis, are not well characterized. this study, we...
Current agricultural productivity depends on an exogenous nutrient supply to crops. This is of special relevance in cereal production, a fundamental part the trophic chain that plays vital role human diet. However, our practices entail highly detrimental side-effects from environmental point view. Long-term nitrogen fertilization croplands results degradation soil, water, and air quality, producing eutrophication subsequently contributing global warming. In accordance with this, there...
All known photosynthetic cyanobacteria carry a cytochrome c 6 protein that acts transferring electrons from b f complex to photosystem I, in photosynthesis, or oxidase, respiration. In most of the cyanobacteria, at least one homologue is found, so-called 6B 6C . However, function these -like proteins still unknown. Recently, it has been proposed common origin as well reclassification group , renaming new joint 6BC Another not classified yet, formerly called 6-3 which present...
Cytochrome cM was first described in 1994 and its sequence has been found the genome of manifold cyanobacterial species ever since. Numerous studies have carried out with purpose determining function, but none them given place to conclusive results so far. Many these are based on assumption that cytochrome is a soluble protein located thylakoid lumen cyanobacteria. In this work, we reevaluated cM, our showing most probable 3D structure strongly similar C subunit bacterial nitric oxide...
