1. Nostoc-cycad symbiosis : with emphasis on the cyanobiont
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. The Heterocysts of Nostoc punctiforme : From Proteomics to Energy Transfer
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to provide a thorough characterization of the photosynthetic machinery from the heterocysts of Nostoc punctiforme strain ATCC 29133. In this thesis I describe the protocols I have optimized for the isolation of thylakoids from vegetative cells, the purification of heterocysts and the isolation of thylakoids from the purified heterocysts.

3. The Nostoc Symbiont of Lichens : Diversity, Specificity and Cellular Modifications
Sammanfattning : Cyanobacteria belonging to the genus Nostoc have the capacity to form symbiotic associations with a wide range of organisms. Diversity, specificity and cellular modifications of the symbiosis between Nostoc and fungi in the formation of lichens were investigated in this thesis. LÄS MER
4. Phylogeny, diversity and toxin production related to cyanobacterial symbioses
Sammanfattning : Phylogeny and morphology were examined for the cyanobionts from the water fern Azolla and the cyanobacterial genus Nostoc originating from symbioses with different host plants (genera Gunnera, Cycas, Dioon, Encephalarthos, Macrozamia, and Anthoceros), the lichen genus Pannaria, and free-living Nostoc isolates from different habitats. Nostoc isolates of Pannaria formed a closely related group, but, in general, no monophyletic nature was attributed to the genus Nostoc, in contrast to the cyanobionts from Azolla which were contained in a unique monophyletic group.

5. Cyanobacterial Hydrogen Metabolism - Uptake Hydrogenase and Hydrogen Production by Nitrogenase in Filamentous Cyanobacteria
Sammanfattning : Molecular hydrogen is a potential energy carrier for the future. Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria are a group of photosynthetic microorganisms with the inherent ability to produce molecular hydrogen via the enzyme complex nitrogenase. This hydrogen is not released, however, but is recaptured by the bacteria using an uptake hydrogenase. LÄS MER
