• Arginine is a component of the ammonium- CYG56 signalling cascade that represses genes of the nitrogen assimilation pathway in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 

      González-Ballester, David; Sanz-Luque, Emanuel; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández Reyes, Emilio; Montaigu, Amaury de (Public Library of Science, 2018)
      Nitrogen assimilation and metabolism are essential processes for all living organisms, yet there is still much to be learnt on how they are regulated. The use of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model system has been ...
    • Distinct features of C/N balance regulation in Prochlorococcus sp. strain MIT9313 

      Domínguez-Martín, María A.; López-Lozano, Antonio; Rangel Zúñiga, Oriol Alberto; Díez, Jesús; García-Fernández, José Manuel (Oxford University Press, 2018)
      The abundance and significant contribution to global primary production of the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus have made it one of the main models in marine ecology. Several conditions known to cause strong effects ...
    • Marine Synechococcus sp. Strain WH7803 Shows Specific Adaptative Responses to Assimilate Nanomolar Concentrations of Nitrate 

      Domínguez-Martín, María A.; López-Lozano, Antonio; Melero-Rubio, Yesica; Gómez-Baena, Guadalupe; Jiménez-Estrada, Juan Andrés; Kukil, Kateryna; Díez, Jesús; García-Fernández, José Manuel (American Society for Microbiology, 2022)
      Marine Synechococcus, together with Prochlorococcus, contribute to a significant proportion of the primary production on Earth. The spatial distribution of these two groups of marine picocyanobacteria depends on different ...
    • Regulatory and metabolic adaptations in the nitrogen assimilation of marine picocyanobacteria 

      Díez, Jesús; López-Lozano, Antonio; Domínguez-Martín, María A.; Gómez-Baena, Guadalupe; Muñoz Marín, Mª Carmen; Melero-Rubio, Yesica; García-Fernández, José Manuel (Oxford University Press, 2022)
      Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the two most abundant photosynthetic organisms on Earth, with a strong influence on the biogeochemical carbon and nitrogen cycles. Early reports demonstrated the streamlining of ...
    • Role of Nitrate Reductase in NO Production in Photosynthetic Eukaryotes 

      Tejada Jiménez, M.; Llamas Azúa, Ángel; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández Reyes, Emilio (MDPI, 2019)
      Nitric oxide is a gaseous secondary messenger that is critical for proper cell signaling and plant survival when exposed to stress. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in plants, under standard phototrophic oxygenic conditions, ...
    • Understanding nitrate assimilation and its regulation in microalgae 

      Sanz-Luque, Emanuel; Chamizo-Ampudia, Alejandro; Llamas Azúa, Ángel; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández Reyes, Emilio (Frontiers, 2015)
      Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to unravel important facts of this process, ...
