Prochloraceae
Prochloraceae is the previous name of a family of cyanobacteria which has been designated as an "illegitimate name" by ICNP. The correct name has been validly published as Microcystaceae.https://lpsn.dsmz.de/family/prochloraceae References Synechococcales Cyanobacteria families {{cyanobacteria-stub ...

Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria ( ) are a group of autotrophic gram-negative bacteria that can obtain biological energy via oxygenic photosynthesis. The name "cyanobacteria" () refers to their bluish green (cyan) color, which forms the basis of cyanobacteria's informal common name, blue-green algae. Cyanobacteria are probably the most numerous taxon to have ever existed on Earth and the first organisms known to have produced oxygen, having appeared in the middle Archean eon and apparently originated in a freshwater or terrestrial environment. Their photopigments can absorb the red- and blue-spectrum frequencies of sunlight (thus reflecting a greenish color) to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen. The hydrogen ions are used to react with carbon dioxide to produce complex organic compounds such as carbohydrates (a process known as carbon fixation), and the oxygen is released as a byproduct. By continuously producing and releasing oxygen over billions of years, cyanobacte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ralph A
Ralph (pronounced or ) is a male name of English origin, derived from the Old English ''Rædwulf'' and Old High German ''Radulf'', cognate with the Old Norse ''Raðulfr'' (''rað'' "counsel" and ''ulfr'' "wolf"). The most common forms are: * Ralph, the common variant form in English, which takes either of the given pronunciations. * Rafe, variant form which is less common; this spelling is always pronounced . * Raif, a very rare variant. Raif Rackstraw from H.M.S. Pinafore * Ralf, the traditional variant form in Dutch, German, Swedish, and Polish. * Ralfs, the traditional variant form in Latvian. * Raoul, the traditional variant form in French. * Raúl, the traditional variant form in Spanish. * Raul, the traditional variant form in Portuguese and Italian. * Raül, the traditional variant form in Catalan. * Rádhulbh, the traditional variant form in Irish.

Prochlorococcus
''Prochlorococcus'' is a genus of very small (0.6 μm) marine cyanobacteria with an unusual pigmentation ( chlorophyll ''a2'' and ''b2''). These bacteria belong to the photosynthetic picoplankton and are probably the most abundant photosynthetic organism on Earth. ''Prochlorococcus'' microbes are among the major primary producers in the ocean, responsible for a large percentage of the photosynthetic production of oxygen. ''Prochlorococcus'' strains, called ecotypes, have physiological differences enabling them to exploit different ecological niches. Analysis of the genome sequences of ''Prochlorococcus'' strains show that 1,273 genes are common to all strains, and the average genome size is about 2,000 genes. In contrast, eukaryotic algae have over 10,000 genes. The genus and the type species were made validly published names under the ICNP in 2001 with ''Validation list no. 79''. They became valid under the ICNafp in 2020 with the description of Komárek et al. Discov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Prochloron
''Prochloron'' (from the Greek ''pro'' (before) and the Greek ''chloros'' (green) ) is a genus of unicellular oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryotes commonly found as an extracellular symbiont on coral reefs, particularly in didemnid ascidians (sea squirts). Part of the phylum cyanobacteria, it was theorized ( endosymbiotic theory) that ''Prochloron'' is a predecessor of the photosynthetic components, chloroplasts, found in photosynthetic eukaryotic cells. However this theory is largely refuted by phylogenetic studies which indicate ''Prochloron'' is not on the same line of descent that lead to chloroplast-containing algae and land plants. ''Prochloron'' was discovered in 1975 by Ralph A. Lewin of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. ''Prochloron'' is one of three known prochlorophytes, cyanobacteria that contain both chlorophyll ''a'' and ''b'' bound to a special light-harvesting protein. Surprisingly, unlike most cyanobacteria ''Prochloron'' do not contain the red or blue ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
