Integrating Markov Clustering and Molecular Phylogenetics to Reconstruct the Cyanobacterial Species Tree from Conserved Protein Families (2008)

Swingley, Wesley D., Blankenship, Robert E., Raymond, Jason

Attempts to classify living organisms by their physical characteristics are as old as biology itself. The advent of protein and DNA sequencing—most notably the use of 16S ribosomal RNA—defined a...

Effect of Iron on Growth and Ultrastructure of Acaryochloris marina

Swingley, Wesley D., Hohmann-Marriott, Martin F., Le Olson, Tien, Blankenship, Robert E.

The cyanobacterial genus Acaryochloris is the only known group of oxygenic phototrophs that contain chlorophyll d rather than chlorophyll a as the major photosynthetic pigment. Studies on this...

Swingley, Wesley D., Hohmann-Marriott, Martin F., Le Olson, Tien, Blankenship, Robert E.

The cyanobacterial genus Acaryochloris is the only known group of oxygenic phototrophs that contain chlorophyll d rather than chlorophyll a as the major photosynthetic pigment. Studies on this...

The Complete Genome Sequence of Roseobacter denitrificans Reveals a Mixotrophic Rather than Photosynthetic Metabolism▿ †

Swingley, Wesley D., Sadekar, Sumedha, Mastrian, Stephen D., Matthies, Heather J., Hao, Jicheng, Ramos, Hector, ...

Purple aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs (AAPs) are the only organisms known to capture light energy to enhance growth only in the presence of oxygen but do not produce oxygen. The highly adaptive AAPs...

Niche adaptation and genome expansion in the chlorophyll d-producing cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina

Swingley, Wesley D., Chen, Min, Cheung, Patricia C., Conrad, Amber L., Dejesa, Liza C., Hao, Jicheng, ...

Acaryochloris marina is a unique cyanobacterium that is able to produce chlorophyll d as its primary photosynthetic pigment and thus efficiently use far-red light for photosynthesis. Acaryochloris...

The Genome of Heliobacterium modesticaldum, a Phototrophic Representative of the Firmicutes Containing the Simplest Photosynthetic Apparatus▿ †

Sattley, W. Matthew, Madigan, Michael T., Swingley, Wesley D., Cheung, Patricia C., Clocksin, Kate M., Conrad, Amber L., ...

Despite the fact that heliobacteria are the only phototrophic representatives of the bacterial phylum Firmicutes, genomic analyses of these organisms have yet to be reported. Here we describe the...
