Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria ( ) are a group of autotrophic gram-negative bacteria that can obtain biological energy via oxygenic photosynthesis. The name "cyanobacteria" () refers to their bluish green (cyan) color, which forms the basis of cyanobacteria's informal common name, blue-green algae. Cyanobacteria are probably the most numerous taxon to have ever existed on Earth and the first organisms known to have produced oxygen, having appeared in the middle Archean eon and apparently originated in a freshwater or terrestrial environment. Their photopigments can absorb the red- and blue-spectrum frequencies of sunlight (thus reflecting a greenish color) to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen. The hydrogen ions are used to react with carbon dioxide to produce complex organic compounds such as carbohydrates (a process known as carbon fixation), and the oxygen is released as a byproduct. By continuously producing and releasing oxygen over billions of years, cyanobacte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Borziaceae
''Borzia'' is a genus of cyanobacteria. The genus name of ''Borzia'' is in honour of Antonino Borzì Antonino Borzì (20 August 1852, in Castroreale – 24 August 1921, in Lucca) was an Italian botanist. Life and career Antonino Borzì became a professor of botany at the University of Palermo in 1879 and at the University of Messina in 189 ... (1852–1921), was an Italian botanist.

Cyanothecaceae
''Cyanothece'' is a genus of unicellular, diazotrophic, oxygenic photosynthesizing cyanobacteria. Modern organisms and cellular organization In 1976, Jiří Komárek defined the prokaryotic cyanobacteria genus ''Cyanothece'' as distinct from '' Synechococcus'' NAG 1949. Organisms in both genera share characteristics in addition to being oxygenic phototrophs. They are both unicellular, forming aggregates, but not found in mucilaginous colonies. They may have a thin mucilage layer around each cell. Both genera also divide by binary fission along an axis perpendicular to the cell's longitudinal axis. A handful of characteristics distinguish the two genera. While ''Synechococcus'' species are usually cylindrical, ''Cyanothece'' species are normally oval and longer than 3 μm., ''Cyanothece’s'' outer cell wall layer is relatively thick and contains spherical, glassy vesicles whose function has yet to be defined. ''Cyanothece’s'' nucleoids are spread loosely throughout t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
