  2. 1. Hydrogenases in the Cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. Strain PCC 73102

    Author : Fredrik Oxelfelt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; fysiologisk botanik; Physiological Botany;

    Abstract : Many cyanobacteria are capable of fixing atmospheric N2, a reaction that is also producing H2. This hydrogen is often metabolized by an enzyme called hydrogenase. The aim of the present work was to identify and characterize hydrogen metabolism/hydrogenases in the free-living N2-fixing cyanobacterium Nostoc sp.strain PCC 73102. READ MORE

  4. 2. Maturation and Regulation of Cyanobacterial Hydrogenases

    Author : Åsa Agervald; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Ann Magnuson; Poul Erik Jensen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biohydrogen; Cyanobacteria; Nostoc sp. PCC 7120; Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102; Hydrogenase; Maturation; Transcriptional regulation; CyAbrB; CalA; FeSOD;

    Abstract : Accelerated global warming plus an increasing need for energy is an equation not easily solved, thus new forms of sustainable energy production are urgently requested. In this context hydrogen production based on a cyanobacterial system offers an environmentally friendly alternative for energy capture and conversion. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Cyanobacterial Uptake Hydrogenase : Regulation, Maturation and Function

    Author : Marie Holmqvist; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Kornél Kovács; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biohydrogen; CalA; Cyanobacteria; Hydrogenase; Maturation; Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133; Nostoc sp. PCC 7120; Transcriptional regulation; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Chemistry with specialization in Microbial Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot mikrobiell kemi;

    Abstract : With accellerating global warming and pollution problems a change of energy regime is necessary. Solar energy offers a clean and unlimited energy source of enormous potential. Due to it’s intermittenet nature solar energy must be stored - ideally in the chemical bond of a carrier molecule. READ MORE

  6. 4. Regulation of the Cyanobacterial Bidirectional Hydrogenase

    Author : Paulo Oliveira; Peter Lindblad; Aaron Kaplan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biology; Biohydrogen; Cyanobacteria; Synechocystis; Anabaena Nostoc; Bidirectional hydrogenase; Transcription regulation; LexA; AbrB-like protein; Biologi;

    Abstract : Today, mankind faces a new challenge in energetic terms: a new Industrial Revolution is imperative, already called by some as an Energetic Revolution. This corresponds to a conversion to clean, environmentally friendly and renewable energy sources. READ MORE

  7. 5. Detection, transfer and role of an environmentally spread neurotoxin (BMAA) with focus on cyanobacteria and the Baltic Sea region

    Author : Lotta Berntzon; Birgitta Bergman; Geoffrey Codd; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; β-N-methylamino-L-alanine; BMAA; cyanobacteria; Baltic Sea; blooms; neurotoxin; neurodegenerative diseases; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS; nitrogenase; nitrogen fixation; Plant Physiology; växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) is one of the more recently discovered bioactive compounds produced by cyanobacteria. BMAA is a non-protein amino acid reported present in human brain tissues of patients deceased from a neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer´s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
