Project description:Application of genome-scale 'omics approaches to dissect subcellular pathways and regulatory networks governing the fast-growing response of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 response to variable irradience levels. We employed controlled cultivation and next-generation sequencing technology to identify transcriptional responses of euryhaline unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 grown under steady state conditions at six irradiance levels ranging from 33 to 760 µmol photons m-2 sec-1.
Project description:Top down mass spectrometry analysis of Synechococcus elongatus UTEX2973 cyanobacteria under nitrogen starvation over time course of 4 hours. A number of phycobiliproteins covalently linked to phycocyanobilin pigments were detected as intact forms. Some of them showed partial degradation of the protein backbones or the pigment structures. NblA, a small protein that is believed to play a key role in phycobilisome degradation was shown to be highly correlated to nitrogen starvation based on its remarkable change of protein abundance.

Project description:Circadian input kinas A (cikA) null cells severly distorts the genome-wide output of the circadian clock Synechococcus cultures (both wildtype and M-NM-^TcikA null cells) were synchronized with two light-dark (12h:12h) cycle before release into continuous light. Samples were collected at 4 h intervals for the next 24 h, total RNA was isolated from samples collected at each time points and genome-wide expression was measured using custom-designed microarrays
