We investigated the impact of nitrogen availability both on pigmentation of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain SH-94-5 and on carbon assimilation by this strain in the presence or absence of UV radiation. Pigmentation changes in strain SH-94-5 due to ammonium exhaustion included phycobiliprotein degradation, an exponential decline in chlorophyll a content, and a net increase in beta-carotene. Following its replenishment, ammonium stimulated non-photosynthetic carbon assimilation for several hours prior to the resumption of photosynthesis and growth. Carbon fixation during this lag phase was concurrent with the metabolism of glycogen reserves, and it is likely that inorganic carbon was incorporated into glycogen-derived carbon skeletons primarily for amino acid synthesis. In contrast, carbon fixation was almost exclusively photosynthetic during exponential growth. UV-A radiation (320-400 nm) inhibited photosynthetic but not non-photosynthetic carbon assimilation. Only growing cells were inhibited, and the disappearance of inhibition following nitrogen depletion appeared to result from the reduction of cellular photosensitizing targets below a threshold level rather than from the inactivation of photosynthesis.}, number={5}, journal={ARCHIVES OF MICROBIOLOGY}, author={Miller, SR and Martin, M and Touchton, J and Castenholz, RW}, year={2002}, month={May}, pages={392–400} }

Because these microbial mats are considered to be useful analogs of ancient marine communities, they offer insights about evolutionary events during the >3 billion year time interval wherein mats co-evolved with Earth's lithosphere and atmosphere. Although photosynthetic mats can be highly dynamic and exhibit extremely high activity, the mats in the present study have been maintained for >1 year with relatively minor changes. The major groups of microorganisms, as assayed using microscopic, genetic, and biomarker methodologies, are essentially the same as those in the original field samples. Field and greenhouse mats were similar with respect to rates of exchange of oxygen and dissolved inorganic carbon across the mat-water interface, both during the day and at night. Field and greenhouse mats exhibited similar rates of efflux of methane and hydrogen. Manipulations of salinity in the water overlying the mats produced changes in the community that strongly resemble those observed in the field. A collaboratory testbed and an array of automated features are being developed to support remote scientific experimentation with the assistance of intelligent software agents. This facility will permit teams of investigators the opportunity to explore ancient environmental conditions that are rare or absent today but that might have influenced the early evolution of these photosynthetic ecosystems.}, number={4}, journal={ASTROBIOLOGY}, author={Bebout, BM and Carpenter, SP and Des Marais, DJ and Discipulo, M and Embaye, T and Garcia-Pichel, F and Hoehler, TM and Hogan, M and Jahnke, LL and Keller, RM and et al.}, year={2002}, pages={383–402} }
