Query: NC_011729:1496848 Cyanothece sp. PCC 7424 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Cyanothece; Cyanothece; ; Chroococcales; Cyanobacteria; Bacteria General Information: This strain was isolated from a rice field in Senegal. The genome shows that these cells have the ability to store the products of both photosynthesis (glycogen) and nitrogen fixation (cyanophycin) as intracellular inclusion bodies. Unlike some other Cyanothece strains, Cyanothece 7424 appears to be an obligate autotroph.

General Information: This strain was isolated from rice fields in Taiwan. Photosynthesis. The cells contain in, addition to chlorophyll and phycobilins, phycoerythrin, a pigment that allows the absorption of light from parts of the spectrum not utilized by many other of photosynthetic organisms.
