Life on Earth may have learned to breathe oxygen long before oxygen filled the skies. MIT researchers traced a key ...

Cyanobacteria, as they still exist today, were the first organisms to carry out photosynthesis and release oxygen. Produced in primeval oceans about 2.5 billion years ago, this oxygen accumulated in ...

Scientists have decoded the atomic structure of Photosystem I from a 3-billion-year-old cyanobacteria lineage, offering a unique look at early oxygen-producing photosynthesis. The ancient nanodevice, ...

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a Japanese research team has studied ancient timekeeping systems. They examined the oscillation of the clock proteins KaiA, KaiB, ...

A field of view (Sample A, WT-short) with both the phase contrast channel and then the autofluorescence pseudocolored bright green. The scale bar is 5 micrometers. Being able to correlate changes in ...
