Examining the Function of Metabolites Generated from Cyanobacteria as Antimicrobial Agents from a 21st-Century Perspective

Kirti Raje Singh & Akanksha Pal · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2026

Cyanobacteria are among the oldest oxygenic photosynthetic organisms on Earth and occupy an extraordinarily broad range of ecological niches, from marine and freshwater systems to extreme terrestrial habitats. Their capacity to withstand intense ultraviolet radiation, desiccation...

Toxicological Impact of Herbicides on Cyanobacteria

D. P. Singh, J. I. S. Khattar, Gurdeep Kaur & Yadvinder Singh · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2016

The use of herbicides in modern agriculture to eradicate weeds has led to serious environmental contamination resulting in a loss of growth and development of many beneficial micro-organisms. Low cost, easy availability, lax in regulatory mechanism have contributed to the continu...

A Deletion of a Putative Glucosyl Transferase Increases Carotenoids Production in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Hatem E. M. K. Abdelwahab · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2014

Aim: Deletion the putative glucosyl transferase (Slr1125) in order to investigate its relationship with the unique carotenoid glycoside myxoxanthophyll. Methodology: In Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, slr1125 ORF was replaced by streptomycin resistance cassette. The resulted homologo...
