Light limitation inducing overcompensatory growth of cyanobacteria and function of serine/threonine kinase (STK) genes involved

The rapid overcompensatory growth that appears when cyanobacteria are supplied with adequate resources after a period of resource deprivation might contribute to the occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms. We investigated the changing characteristics of overcompensatory growth and serine/threonine kina...

We investigated the changing characteristics of overcompensatory growth and serine/threonine kinase (STK) genes expression of cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa in response to light limitation.

To investigate the function of STK genes in the overcompensatory growth, M. aeruginosa spkD was heterologously expressed in Synechocystis. Transgenic Synechocystis exhibited greater and longer overcompensatory growth than wild-type Synechocystis after light recovery. Relative expression levels of STK genes in transgenic Synechocystis were significantly higher than those in wild-type Synechocystis at 24 h of light recovery (P < 0.05).
