B-pinene synthesis in synechococcus sp. pcc 7002 cyanobacteria: metabolic engineering for high-density biofuel applications
Carr, Rhiannon (2017-09-29)In light of escalating concern over global climate change and the declining availability of non-renewable fossil fuels, a significant body of research has accumulated which explores renewable sources for comparable ... -
Characterization by ¹⁵N-metabolic labeling and mass spectrometry of proteins for high-light adaptations in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 cyanobacteria
Dorschner, Jessica (2018-05)The marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 tolerates extreme highlight intensities of more than twice full sunlight (≥2000 μmol photons m-2 s-1), a stress condition that can damage cellular machinery via the ... -
Cyclic electron transfer pathways in SYNECHOCOCCUS Sp. PCC 7002 cyanobacteria during photosynthesis at high light intensity
Marathe, Anuradha (2012-01)With current global warming, there is growing interest in coupling carbon dioxide (CO2) capture to chemical synthesis via photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria convert up to 10% of the sun's energy into biomass compared to 1% by ... -
EXPRESSION AND PURIFICATION OF THE Chlamydomonas BLUE-COPPER PLASTOCYANIN PROTEIN
Ranatunga, Don Ruwan (2009-08)Plastocyanin (PC) is a type 1 blue copper (Cu) protein found in the thylakoid lumen of plant and algal chloroplasts and in some cyanobacteria. It carries electrons from the cytochrome bf complex to the photosystem I ... -
INACTIVATION OF COMPETING PATHWAYS AND INCREASED GENE COPIES FOR ENHANCED ISOPRENE PRODUCTION IN SYNECHOCOCCUS SP. PCC 7002 CYANOBACTERIA
Aremu, Olalekan (2015-06)Renewable energy resources are necessary for a sustainable environment, energy independence, and national security. Cyanobacteria (blue-green microalgae) hold great potential as sources of sustainable bioproducts because ... -
Multiple Rieske Iron Sulfur Proteins of Photosynthesis in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis SP PCC 6803
Ranade, Saurabh J. (2012-05)The cytochrome bf complex is essential for both photosynthetic and respiratory electron transport in cyanobacteria. A Rieske iron-sulfur protein (ISP) is an essential subunit of this complex. The cyanobacterium, Synechocystis ... -

Larry; Buchmann, Beau; Schrauth, Jamie; Linberts, Andrea June; Linberts, Jessica; Mynsberge, Heath; Miller, Adeline; Simeth, Anna; Whitfield, Jonathan; Knitt, Joseph; Bodoh, Bruce; Schettle, Sarah; Marker, Erik (Office of Grants and Faculty Development, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, 2007) -
REDOX REGULATION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS BY THE CYTOCHROME bf COMPLEX: MECHANISMS AND CONSEQUENCES
Brantmier, Paul J. (2013-05)Photosynthesis is a fundamental and central metabolic process of our planet. Honed by billions of years of evolution, it forms the basis for the food chain that sustains our ecosphere. Photosynthesis begins with sunlight ... -
Rieske Iron-Sulfur Isoforms in a Unicellular Cyanobacterium
Schettle, Sarah (2007-12-18)Rieske iron-sulfur proteins (ISPs) are integrally involved in photosynthetic electron transport chains and thus closely linked to energy production and its regulation in cyanobacteria and plant chloroplasts. The cyanobacterium ... -
Temperature-regulated control of toxic genes in the methylerythritol phosphate pathway of synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 cyanobacteria
Raebel, Meghan (2018-01-09)Cyanobacteria are microalgae that have the potential to become a frontrunner for clean energy and renewable bioproducts. These green bacteria efficiently harvest sunlight and atmospheric CO2, to produce a variety of ... -
Whole-genome gene expression profiling in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 : impacts of electron transfer mutations and low CO₂ stress
Weir IV, George (2017-09-29)Cyanobacteria are the ancestors of plant chloroplasts and perform ~25% of global photosynthesis. The photosynthetic reaction center complexes (PSII and PSI) capture solar energy to catalyze a series of electron transfer, ...
