Genomic responses to arsenic in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Arsenic is a ubiquitous contaminant and a toxic metalloid which presents two main redox states in nature: arsenite [AsIII] and arsenate [AsV]. Arsenic resistance in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is mediated by the ...

Global transcriptional profiles of the copper responses in the cyanobacterium synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Copper is an essential element involved in fundamental processes like respiration and photosynthesis. However, it becomes toxic at high concentration, which has forced organisms to control its cellular concentration. We ...

CopM is a novel copper-binding protein involved in copper resistance in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(Wiley Open Access, 2015)
Copper resistance system in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 comprises two operons, copMRS and copBAC, which are expressed in response to copper in the media. copBAC codes for a heavy-metal efflux–resistance ...

Metals in Cyanobacteria: Analysis of the Copper, Nickel, Cobalt and Arsenic Homeostasis Mechanisms
(MDPI AG, 2014)
Traces of metal are required for fundamental biochemical processes, such as photosynthesis and respiration. Cyanobacteria metal homeostasis acquires an important role because the photosynthetic machinery imposes a high ...
