Query: NC_010546:4144449 Cyanothece sp. ATCC 51142 chromosome circular, complete sequence
Lineage: Cyanothece; Cyanothece; ; Chroococcales; Cyanobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Cyanothece sp. ATCC 51142 was isolated from intertidal sands from the Gulf of Mexico in Texas. The marine diazotrophic strain, Cyanothece sp. ATCC 51142, has a robust diurnal cycle in which photosynthesis is performed during the day and nitrogen fixation at night.
Subject: NC_013771:1171251 Cyanobacterium UCYN-A, complete genome
Lineage: Atelocyanobacterium thalassa; Atelocyanobacterium; ; Chroococcales; Cyanobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: UCYN-A cyanobacteria are species of nitrogen-fixing marine cyanobacteria that lack the oxygen producing photosystem II complex of the photosynthetic apparatus, the enzymes of the Calvin and tricarboxylic acid cycles, as well as several enzymes involved in amino acid synthesis. The cyanobacteria live in symbiosis with photosynthetic eukaryotic cells, specifically those of a single-celled species of algae.
