Homogeneous Environmental Selection Structures the Bacterial Communities of Benthic Biofilms in Proglacial Floodplain Streams

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Jade Brandani, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis

Streams draining proglacial floodplains harbor benthic biofilms comprised of diverse microbial communities. These high-mountain ecosystems are rapidly changing with climate warming, and it is therefore critical to better understand the mechanisms underlyin ...

Genomic insights into the coupling of a Chlorella-like microeukaryote and sulfur bacteria in the chemocline of permanently stratified Lake Cadagno

Christel Sybille Hassler

Meromictic Lake Cadagno is a permanently stratified system with a persistent microbial bloom within the oxic-anoxic boundary called the chemocline. The association between oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis within the chemocline has been known for at l ...

Dissecting the photoacidity of spiropyran/merocyanine molecular switches in water

Cesare Berton

Photochemistry is a discipline that studies the interaction between light and matter with the scope to induce chemical transformations. The first conjugation between light and chemistry can be dated back to the lifespan of Giacomo Luigi Ciamician, who is c ...

Stable isotope (S, C) chemostratigraphy and hydrocarbon biomarkers in the Ediacaran upper section of Sierras Bayas Group, Argentina

Mariluz Bagnoud

The Neoproterozoic sedimentary successions of the Sierras Bayas Group (SBG) are situated within the Tandilia Belt, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The Loma Negra Formation (LNF) from the upper part of the SBG has been investigated using a combination of ...

Calorimetry and thermodynamic aspects of heterotrophic, mixotrophic, and phototrophic growth

Urs von Stockar, Ian William Marison

A simple stoichiometric model is proposed linking the biomass yield to the enthalpy and Gibbs energy changes in chemo-heterotrophic, mixotrophic, and photo-autotrophic microbial growth. A comparison with calorimetric experiments on the algae Chlorella vulg ...

Biologically active secondary metabolites from cyanobacteria

Cyril Portmann

For millennia, nature was the only source of medicine for mankind. Even today natural products represent a large proportion of the drugs in use. In some areas, like cancer or infectious diseases, about 50 % of the compounds used are of natural origin. Cyan ...

Directed Biosynthesis of Phytotoxic Alkaloids in the Cyanobacterium Nostoc 78-12A

Cyril Portmann, Karl Gademann, Cora Prestinari, Theresa Myers

Nostocarboline, a chlorinated and N-methylated carbolinium alkaloid, displays potent and selective inhibition of photoautotrophic organisms as well as the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, while showing very low toxicity to bacterial and fungal patho ...

Secondary Metabolites from Cyanobacteria: Complex Structures and Powerful Bioactivities

Cyril Portmann, Karl Gademann

This review presents natural products from cyanobacteria. Several classes of secondary metabolites are highlighted. Toxic metabolites from these prokaryotic photosynthetic organisms include compounds such as microcystin, anatoxin and saxitoxin, which displ ...
