Pleurocapsales
The Pleurocapsales are an order of coccooid cyanobacteria Cyanobacteria (), also known as Cyanophyta, are a phylum of gram-negative bacteria that obtain energy via photosynthesis. The name ''cyanobacteria'' refers to their color (), which similarly forms the basis of cyanobacteria's common name, blu .... Pleurocapsales are characterized by having boocytes, specialized cells where multiple fission takes place. Their ecology is mainly endolytic and calcareous, they are found inside rocks and in low light conditions. Pleurocapsales were thought to be related to ''Chroococcidiopsis'' but recent work with phylogenetics of the 16S rDNA gene has shown that ''Chroococcidiopsis'' belongs to its own order Chroococcidiopsidales. Some genera within Pleurocapsales form pseudo-ramifications such as ''Pleurocapsa'' sp., ''Odorella'' sp, and all the genera within the Hyellaceae family. Historically, the order Pleurocapsales has been one of the least studied orders of cyanobacteria, due t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria (), also known as Cyanophyta, are a phylum of gram-negative bacteria that obtain energy via photosynthesis. The name ''cyanobacteria'' refers to their color (), which similarly forms the basis of cyanobacteria's common name, blue-green algae, although they are not usually scientifically classified as algae. They appear to have originated in a freshwater or terrestrial environment. Sericytochromatia, the proposed name of the paraphyletic and most basal group, is the ancestor of both the non-photosynthetic group Melainabacteria and the photosynthetic cyanobacteria, also called Oxyphotobacteria. Cyanobacteria use photosynthetic pigments, such as carotenoids, phycobilins, and various forms of chlorophyll, which absorb energy from light. Unlike heterotrophic prokaryotes, cyanobacteria have internal membranes. These are flattened sacs called thylakoids where photosynthesis is performed. Phototrophic eukaryotes such as green plants perform photosynthesis in plast ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
