Arthrospira Platensis
''Arthrospira platensis'' is a filamentous, gram-negative cyanobacterium. This bacterium is non-nitrogen-fixing photoautotroph. It has been isolated in Chenghai Lake, China, soda lakes of East Africa, and subtropical, alkaline lakes. Morphology ''Arthrospira platensis'' is filamentous, motile bacterium. Motility has been described as a vigorous gliding without a visible flagella. Metabolism As a photoautotroph the major carbon source is carbon dioxide and water is a source of electrons to perform CO2 reduction. Genetics ''Arthrospira platensis'' has a single circular chromosome containing 6.8 Mb and 6,631 genes. The G+C content has been determined to be 44.3%. Growth conditions ''Arthrospira platensis'' has been found in environments with high concentrations of carbonate and bicarbonate.

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] |
