Positive selection on transposase genes of insertion sequences in the Crocosphaera watsonii genome.
Insertion sequences (ISs) are mobile elements that are commonly found in bacterial genomes. Here, the structural and functional diversity of these mobile elements in the genome of the cyanobacterium Crocosphaera watsonii WH8501 is analyzed. The number, distribution, and diversity of nucleotide and amino acid stretches with similarity to the transposase gene of this IS family suggested that this...
متن کاملArsenate Resistance in the Unicellular Marine Diazotroph Crocosphaera watsonii
The toxic arsenate ion can behave as a phosphate analog, and this can result in arsenate toxicity especially in areas with elevated arsenate to phosphate ratios like the surface waters of the ocean gyres. In these systems, cellular arsenate resistance strategies would allow phytoplankton to ameliorate the effects of arsenate transport into the cell. Despite the potential coupling between arsena...
متن کاملPhosphorus scavenging in the unicellular marine diazotroph Crocosphaera watsonii.
Through the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and photosynthesis, marine diazotrophs play a critical role in the global cycling of nitrogen and carbon. Crocosphaera watsonii is a recently described unicellular diazotroph that may significantly contribute to marine nitrogen fixation in tropical environments. One of the many factors that can constrain the growth and nitrogen fixation rates of mari...
متن کاملToxin production by Crocosphaera watsonii: structure and influence on nutrient cycling in the upper ocean
Cyanobacteria are abundant components of the biosphere and play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and oxygen supply to the atmosphere. In addition to their photosynthetic capabilities, some cyanobacteria contribute to global ocean productivity by fixing inert atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) into a bioavailable form. Many of these nitrogen-fixing bacteria (diazotrophs) also produce toxic meta...
