• Differential expression of the glucose transporter gene glcH in response to glucose and light in marine picocyanobacteria 

  Moreno Cabezuelo, José Ángel; López Lozano, Antonio; Diez, Jesús; García Fernández, José Manuel (PeerJ Publishing, 2019)

  Background: Our team discovered that Prochlorococcus can take up glucose, in a process that changes the transcriptional pattern of several genes involved in glucose metabolization. We have also shown that glcH encodes a ...

• Differential NtcA Responsiveness to 2-Oxoglutarate Underlies the Diversity of C/N Balance Regulation in Prochlorococcus 

  Domínguez Martín, María Agustina; López Lozano, Antonio; Clavería Gimeno, Rafael; Velázquez Campoy, Adrián; Seidel, Gerald; Burkovski, Andreas; Diez, Jesús; García Fernández, José Manuel (Frontiers, 2018)

  Previous studies showed differences in the regulatory response to C/N balance in Prochlorococcus with respect to other cyanobacteria, but no information was available about its causes, or the ecological advantages conferred ...

• Stress responses in Prochlorococcus MIT9313 vs. SS120 involve differential expression of genes encoding proteases ClpP, FtsH and Lon 

  Gomez Baena, Guadalupe; Rangel, Oriol Alberto; López Lozano, Antonio; García Fernández, José Manuel; Diez, Jesús (Elsevier, 2009)

  Prochlorococcus is a marine cyanobacterium responsible for a significant part of global primary production as well as being one of the most abundant organisms on Earth. Protein turnover is an essential and poorly understood ...

• Physiological role and regulation of glutamate dehydrogenase in Prochlorococcus sp. strain MIT9313 

  Rangel, Oriol Alberto; Gómez Baena, Guadalupe; López Lozano, Antonio; Diez, Jesús; García Fernández, José Manuel (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)

  Glutamate dehydrogenase is an enzyme catalysing a reaction for ammonium assimilation, alternative to those performed by glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase. In the genus Prochlorococcus, genomic studies have shown ...

• Nitrate is reduced by heterotrophic bacteria but not transferred to Prochlorococcus in non-axenic cultures 

  López Lozano, Antonio; Diez, Jesús; El Alaoui, Sabah; Moreno Vivián, Conrado; García Fernández, José Manuel (Elsevier, 2002)

  The ability to assimilate nitrate in non-axenic isolates of Prochlorococcus spp. was addressed in this work, particularly in three low- irradiance adapted strains originating from ocean depths with measurable nitrate ...
