HAMAP: Cyanothece sp. (strain PCC 8801) (Synechococcus sp. (strain PCC 8801 / RF-1)) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Cyanothece sp. (strain PCC 8801) (Synechococcus sp. (strain PCC 8801 / RF-1))
Species code: CYAP8
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Chroococcales; Cyanothece (TaxID: 41431) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Cyanobacteria are oxygenic, phototrophic organisms. They encode two photosystems (PSI and PSII) releasing electrons from water and fix carbon dioxide via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham pathway. Thus they absorb large quantities of C(O)2 and produce (O)2. Some cyanobacteria are also able to fix (N)2.

Cyanothece sp. PCC 8801 is a unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacterium and was isolated from rice fields in southern Taiwan during springtime in about 1988. Cyanothece sp. PCC 8801 cells are non-motile, about 3-4 um in size, relatively small compared to other Cyanothece species. It does not have gas vesicles and fixes (N)2 aerobically. 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. This strain appears to be able to make poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA), which could be used to produce biodegradable plastics.
