Antioxidative Activity of Superoxide Dismutase in Bloom Forming Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria are autotrophic prokaryotes with excellent antioxidative system that scavenges reactive oxygen species produced during photosynthesis. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) represent the primary defence against oxygen damage. The antioxidative activity of SOD enzymes was determined in cultures of the bloom forming cyanobacteria Anabaena variabilis and Synechococcus elongates. Experimental re...
متن کاملAntioxidative Potential of Catalase in Bloom Forming Cyanobacteria- Anabaena Variabilis and Synechococcus Elongates
Cyanobacteria are fascinating and versatile group of bacteria which are of immense biological importance. They are unique photosynthetic prokaryotes with an oxygenic photosynthesis process. They possess an array of protective mechanism comprising of antioxidants to eliminate the damages caused by the reactive oxygen species. Blooms caused by cyanobacteria are ubiquitous in temple ponds, lakes a...
متن کاملAutonomous Surface Vessel for Toxic Cyanobacteria Bloom Examination
Scientists of the limnological station in Kilchberg, Switzerland are surveing the bloom of the toxic cyanobacteria in the lake of Zurich. So far, measurements have only been taken at a specific point on the lake. For better spatial understanding of the bloom in relation with geological changes, an Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) is being developed. This ASV is equipped with a probe which can be...

متن کاملCyanophage Infection in the Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa in Surface Freshwater
Host-like genes are often found in viral genomes. To date, multiple host-like genes involved in photosynthesis and the pentose phosphate pathway have been found in phages of marine cyanobacteria Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus. These gene products are predicted to redirect host metabolism to deoxynucleotide biosynthesis for phage replication while maintaining photosynthesis. A cyanophage, Ma-...
