Description |
|
Synechocystiae are unicellular, photoautotrophic, facultative
glucose-heterotrophic bacteria. They are oxygenic photosynthetic with two
photosystems at their disposal, similar to those in algae and plants, and they
can fix nitrogen. Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 can grow in the absence of
photosynthesis if a suitable fixed-carbon source such as glucose is provided.
The total length of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 is 3,573,470 bp
and it has developed into a Cyanobacterium model (Ref.1 & 2). Glutathione
metabolism in Synechocystis sp. involves both the synthesis of
Glutathione and its catabolism. Glutathione is a small molecule found in almost
every cell. It cannot enter most cells directly and therefore must be made
available inside the cell from its three constituent amino acids: Glycine,
Glutamate and Cysteine. [...] |
